Africatown Energy Efficiency Workshop
June 21, 2023, 9:00 am—June 24, 2023, 3:00 pm
Did you know that your biggest contribution to greenhouse gasses is not your car, it’s your HOME? The energy consumed by the average home is responsible for 2 to 3 times the greenhouse gasses of the average car. But with fairly simple improvements, you can reduce your energy consumption by 10% to 30% on average – saving you money while helping stop global warming.
Gulf Coast Creation Care and Yorktown Missionary Baptist Church are hosting a free Home Energy Clinic to teach you how to make free or inexpensive upgrades that will make your home more energy efficient, saving you money and helping the planet.
Stephen Guesman, a green building educator and builder from northern Alabama, leads the workshop, which teaches the most cost-effective, energy-efficient methods for duct sealing, air sealing, insulation, and natural cooling. You will also learn what products to buy and which ones NOT to buy. He will also address the issues of indoor air quality, moisture, mold, and ventilation.
