Our homes produce nearly 20% of the nations
carbon footprint. The ability to make homes more energy efficient represents
a potential one-third reduction in energy usage and a corresponding
reduction of over 262 million metric tons of greenhouse gases while
creating 220,000 jobs. To accomplish this task, energy audit training programs are being rapidly established to provide
professionals and college graduates with the skills to analyze structures
for weatherization and efficiency improvements. Applying these green
building and renovation techniques will position candidates to enter
the emerging $60 billion green construction market. For more information
