Home Energy Efficiency Workshop – Room 120, Offered by Clackamas County Office of Sustainability and Energy Trust of Oregon

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?

Learn how energy works in a home and what impact your actions can have. 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 use and carbon footprint. You’ll also learn 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 incentives are available to help you. A drawing will be held for $10 PGE gift cards.
