PEEC and county utilities host free home weatherization talk Nov. 16
Santa Fe Community College's Ben Cichowski will cover insulation, air sealing and where to start, in person at the Los Alamos Nature Center or online.
LOS ALAMOS - The Pajarito Environmental Education Center and the county Department of Public Utilities will host a free talk on home weatherization Monday, Nov. 16, from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Los Alamos Nature Center, according to a county release published Nov. 10.
Ben Cichowski, Energy Smart Academy director at Santa Fe Community College, will walk through the techniques and benefits of weatherization, from insulation to air sealing, and where homeowners can start. The release notes that weatherization keeps heat inside regardless of a home's heating system, fuel or age, and helps hold cool air in during summer.
People can attend at the nature center, 2600 Canyon Road, or online. Admission is free, and attendees choose an in-person or virtual ticket when they register, according to PEEC's events page.
The talk will be recorded and posted on PEEC's and DPU's YouTube pages within a few weeks.
