Learn how to make your home more comfortable and more energy-efficient.
About Weatherization Skillshop
Weatherization Skillshops have been created to give people with handyman skills the building science background, how-to demonstrations and hands-on skill-building to make energy-saving home improvements.
There are full-day and half-day Weatherization Skillshops, all led by a qualified instructor. The cost is $25 for a half-day, $50 for the full-day, and discounts are available for two people in the same household. Go to www.weatherizationskillshop.com/schedule for the updated schedule.
You'll get great information, hands-on skills training, a reference text, access to tools & supplies—and we’ll provide lunch or dinner! You'll learn how to:
- Evaluate your home's needs
- Choose the right materials and tools for your project
- Use materials properly—for effectiveness and safety
If you have basic building and home repair skills, you will be able to tackle many energy improvements in your home that can help make your home more comfortable, reduce your fuel use, and save money.
Weatherization Skillshop participants will also learn about the DIY Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program through which homeowners can qualify for up to $2500 in incentives from Efficiency Vermont by completing energy efficiency home improvements under the guidance of a participating Home Performance contractor.
