This workshop covers home energy needs on both a theoretical and practical hands-on basis. The course begins with an evening overview adressing typical household energy needs and conservation strategies, including a review of renewable energy technologies for meeting those needs. This will be followed by an in-depth exposure to passive solar principles for heating and cooling and active solar collection for domestic hot water, two of the highest areas of consumption in a typical home. Our final session will include a show and tell of passive solar improvements to an existing home, a solar cooker and other appropriate technology devices. We will finish the course with a hands-on session manufacturing an efficient solar thermal collector and incorporating it into a domestic hot water system.
