Service Learning: Tighten it Up-- From Audit to Action
Course Overview
Tired of that steady little draft that rolls through your kitchen every morning as you make coffee? Feel like the north wind is a bit too present every night as you climb into bed? If so, then the road ahead is clear – Tighten It Up. This workshop is a hands-on primer for anyone anxious to learn the basic skills that will make a home more energy efficient. This class is REAL work, making North House’s blue building more energy efficient by using energy audit data to create an action plan. With a plan in place, student will learn to do it all - caulking, backer rod, outlet baskets, pipe insulation and expanding foam. This workshop is offered in collaboration effort with Cook County Local Energy Project. Students in the morning session “Boreal Building Basics” (during which a real energy audit will be completed) can participate in this class for free.
