Program #2
“Home Symptoms and Building Science”

This program educates the consumer on household problems that can lead to poor home energy efficiency and higher utility and repair bills, and the building science behind solving those problems.



Learn how to identify that you have a problem:

  • Uneven or uncomfortable room temperatures

  • Mold, mildew, and condensation

  • Ice damming, freezing pipes

  • High energy bills

     

Find out how to select a contractor and what questions to ask

Discover how inadequate insulation, air leakage, and outdated appliances and equipment can cause common household problems

Learn the dangers of improperly vented gas or oil fired appliances (such as stoves, dryers, heating systems, and water heaters)

A house operates as a system, and common household problems mean that something in that system is not functioning the way it was meant to. Pinpointing and fixing the problem can make your home more energy efficient and comfortable, and can save you money!
