Overview
Energy Corps Members receive classroom and on-site training to complete surveys of public and non-profit facilities. These surveys allow project hosts with a baseline understanding of their facilities’ strengths and weaknesses so they can reduce their carbon footprint while also providing healthier sites for communities together. Audit tasks may include:
Drafting
Basic HVAC services
Plug load calculations
Blower door tests
Retrofitting facilities include attic sealing, patching holes, changing lightbulbs, etc.
When not performing audits, Energy Corps Members will work together in restoring habitat, managing natural resources, and occasionally responding to natural disasters or community needs.
