COURSE DESCRIPTION

This online 6-Hour Weatherization and Renewable Energy course will teach students how to reduce building envelope failures and how to implement renewable energy products into their design to achieve sustainability and efficiency in projects.

In the Renewable Energy portion, students will get a comprehensive look at wind, solar and other sources of renewable energy on the market today. Students will learn how to incorporate these products into their design and which rebates and incentives are available to their clients.
