Buildings consume more energy than any other sector of the U.S. economy – including transportation and industry. In this workshop, you’ll learn the basic concepts of weatherization, leading building energy efficiency techniques, renewable energy and energy sustainability to help homeowners and business owners pursue greater levels of energy efficiency.
