Feathering Your Nest

When: Tuesday May 7th - 5:30pm soup and mingling | 6-7:30pm workshop Where: Kachemak Bay College room 201/202 What: As our local flocks are coming home to nest, many local people are also making home project lists for the summer. Homer Drawdown’s Climate Smart Homer Homes invites you to join the first of our first workshops to spur energy efficiency project planning to lower your home’s carbon footprint AND your heating bills. Heat, air, and moisture are driving forces in your home that determine comfort, health and safety, durability, and efficiency. This session is designed to help you understand these flowing forces to make more informed decisions on maintenance, repairs or remodels in your home. Join us Tuesday May 7th to learn about how your home works, and also about rebates and tax credits for doing some of this work in your house. This classroom session will be held at Kachemak Bay Campus, come at 5:30 for a shared soup meal, the meeting will kick off at 6pm. In addition a practical application of learning will be hosted the following Saturday in the home of one of the organizers. Here we will discuss selection of materials, proper installation techniques, and discussions of further measures. Space is limited and priority is given to those that attend and sign up at the classroom session. If you cannot make Tuesday’s meeting, but are excited about this hands-on learning experience, please email satchel@inletkeeper.org. The session will be led by Scott Waterman, retired energy program manager for the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. There will be plenty of time for questions.
