Window Dressers is a Maine-based 501c3 nonprofit that brings volunteers together to improve the warmth and comfort of homes, lower heating costs, and reduce CO2 emissions by producing low-cost, attractive, insulating window inserts that function as interior-mounted storm windows. Our group started the Burlington, VT location and had our first build in 2021.Across all of the Window Dressers locations, energy and cost savings are the goal, and people who cannot afford to buy the inserts can get them at no cost. Overall, Window Dressers has a goal for the share of inserts that are provided at no cost. The Burlington team looks to exceed that goal, given the demographics in our area.Burlington is more urban than many of the other Window Dressers loctions and almost 65% of the households in the city are renter occupied. Often renters pay the energy bills but have very limited ability to invest in ways to lower the bills. Window inserts are one way that they can with or without their landlord's involvement.
