Oftentimes we get excited about solar, wind and geothermal installations as a possible solution to our energy consumption, but those types of energy solutions can be expensive. Start with baby steps. This class will teach students simple auditing techniques for detecting drafty areas in the home as well as inexpensive follow-up solutions to fixing those leaks.
