Energy Expo Course Descriptions

Why Don’t People Save More Energy?
The keynote presentation is an entertaining seminar addressing the misconceptions people have about saving energy. Come to this fastpaced session which includes case studies on energy contests, home energy makeovers, and community-based endeavors. In addition, we’ll be showing some entertaining and fun videos and commercials. Yes, there’s even a rap song about energy conservation.

Duct Insulation Workshop
One major aspect of your home’s construction is wasting 20-30 percent of your heating and cooling dollars: your duct system. Ductwork, which carries conditioned air from your furnace or air conditioner throughout your home, is made of highly conductive sheet metal and is often located in unconditioned spaces like unfinished basements and crawlspaces. Due to the extreme temperatures in these locations 10-30 percent of the energy used to heat and cool the air in your home is lost through conduction. Duct insulation will save you 20-30 percent on your heating and cooling costs, improve discharge temperatures from registers by 10-15° and enhance the overall comfort of your home. United Power’s Energy Experts will send you home with the skills and knowledge to complete this project on your own.

What You Get From an Energy Audit
A professional energy audit is a wise investment when you are considering major changes to your home, but what do you get and how much should you spend? Learn what certified auditors look for and how they determine the efficiency of your home. Then our expert will help you understand what to do with all of that information and how to prioritize your energy efficiency upgrades. Also learn about the rebates and discounted audit programs currently available.
