A hands-on Energy Savings Workshop where you’ll learn practical, DIY ways to reduce your utility bills and make your home more efficient.
Our workshop introduces weatherization techniques, provides practical energy-saving tips for homeowners, and offers an overview of building science and the diagnostic tools we use. These tools are especially important for homes in hot, humid South Carolina, as they allow us to identify duct leakage, air-tightness issues, and other factors that directly impact humidity control, comfort, and energy use. This workshop will help both homeowners and renters to better understand home improvements and practices that will decrease their energy costs.
Topics include:
Energy audits
Air sealing
Heating and cooling systems
Home lighting
Appliances
Water efficiency
Understanding your utility bill
Sustainability Institute programs
Participants will have the opportunity to receive a free energy conservation kit and access additional valuable resources to support their efficiency journey. This workshop is proudly hosted in partnership with Charleston County, The Sustainability Institute, and the Town of Mt. Pleasant.
