Home Weatherization Training

Gulf Coast Creation Care and The People’s Justice Council are pleased to bring Southface Institute, the nation’s premier source of energy efficiency research, data, and training headquartered in Atlanta to Mobile, Alabama!

“The Southface Home Weatherization Specialist training covers important residential energy efficiency and indoor air quality improvements that you can use to increase a home’s resiliency and comfort, while also saving energy and reducing utility costs. Southface has taught this training across the Southeast, from the coasts of Florida to the mountains of North Carolina. Our expert instructors will tailor course content to specific regions, covering all of the important energy code considerations for all conditions and states. The training will open with a section covering the fundamentals of building science, approaching the house as a system by connecting heat, air, and moisture movements. The training will then discuss the importance of combustion safety, before highlighting ways to improve energy efficiency cost savings with insulation, air sealing, and ductwork improvements. The training will wrap up with various hands-on activities that allow students to practice many of the techniques and upgrades that our instructors highlight throughout the training.”
