UAF's Cooperative Extension Service will present two free home energy workshops at its Anchorage District office at 1675 C St.

Community Sustainability Coordinator Rich Seifert will teach a home retrofit workshop from 6:30 to 9 p.m., May 3 and a cold climate homebuilding techniques workshop from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., May 5. The workshops are designed to help homeowners who plan to participate in the home energy rebate program.

The retrofit workshop will focus on insulating homes, including options for retrofit, windows, walls, roofs and weatherization. The cold climate workshop will cover retrofit options, ventilation, indoor air quality, roofs and permafrost and foundations. Participants will receive free manuals with both courses.
