Insulate, Insulate, Insulate

This event is virtual-only due to weather. Please register for the Zoom link. 

Like a comfy puffer jacket, insulation is key to creating comfortable and efficient living and working spaces. If your gas bill is high from heating, switching to electric will not help because your building is still leaking. Insulation will help keep the hot (and cool) air where you need it and help reduce the heating demand on your system. This discussion will highlight 2021 energy code requirements for insulation, explore different types of insulation materials, and work through what types can and should be used in different places.
