Weatherization and Energy Efficiency Course

Throughout the U.S., savvy homeowners are seeking ways to save money on increasing energy costs by weather-proofing their homes – which can reduce heating bills by 32% and overall energy bills by about  $350 per year at current prices (U.S. Department of Energy). 

And under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, about $8 billion has been invested into national weatherization and energy efficiency programs. 

This means the Department of Energy will partner with state and local governments to put about 87,000 Americans to work and save families hundreds of dollars per year on their energy bills (DOE).
