Home Energy IQ

How much energy and money can you save? What is the single biggest energy user in your home? Do you need to install insulation or simply change your habits?

This workshop will teach you how energy works in a home and what impact your actions can have. You'll develop a deeper understanding of home-energy use, the effects of appliances and systems on your utility bills and how changing simple behaviors can reduce your energy and carbon footprint.

You'll also learn about what you can do to increase comfort and indoor air quality, how to distinguish do-it-yourself techniques from projects that may require professional services, and understand what diagnostic testing can do for your home.
