Upcoming workshops offered by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will help residents lower home energy bills.

Learn how to tap into the sun’s energy through a solar design workshop offered Saturday, Oct. 4, by Extension Energy and Housing Specialist Rich Seifert. The solar workshop will run from 1-5 p.m. in the University of Alaska Fairbanks Schaible Auditorium. Seifert will discuss Alaska-specific solar aspects, recent experience with solar hot water installations, photovoltaics and optimizing passive design with energy conservation. There is a $10 charge for the course text, “A Solar Design Manual for Alaska.”

Seifert also will lead a cold climate home-building techniques workshop on Oct. 18. The workshop will focus on insulating homes and will cover options for retrofit, and radon and indoor air quality, ventilation, roofs and permafrost. The workshop will run from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., also at Schaible Auditorium. Participants receive a free manual with a CD.
