## The How

** ****Advantages **
** ****It’s the Law**
** ****Humor**
** ****Economics**
** ****Science**
** ****Gadgets and Demos**

**The How**

**Notes:**
Thought a blog may be an interesting source of information and communication.

## Key Advantages

** ****Energy bills**** – energy savings exceed annual mortgage costs**
** ****Comfort**** – warmer window temperatures**
** ****Moisture control**** – reduced condensation**
** ****Reduced fabric fading**
** ****Lower cooling load**** – reduced HVAC size may pay for windows**

**Key Advantages**

**Notes:**
Thought a blog may be an interesting source of information and communication.

## It’s the Law!

***Unsealed  ducts are illegal – and should be!!***

**Notes:**
Thought a blog may be an interesting source of information and communication.

**Notes:**
Don’t have anything on “Stand-up” or “Other” but the following slides are on-line resources and some trainings. 

The aqua text is a hyperlink and can be accessed once the presentation is projected....(ya know “F5” or “View” > “Slid Show”). 

I also inserted some images or documents from the web pages I sited.

Not many people have online training for energy code but do for building code. Not sure if there is energy code info in some of the building code workshops???

## Bag of Tricks

**Notes:**
Just making up some stuff here.....not sure what you’re looking for.

## Bag of Tricks

** ****Avoid “Death by PowerPoint”; don’t be rigid; minimize tables; include lots of photos and graphics; no matter what, don’t read the text**
** ****Be careful with animations; they can drag**
** ****Don’t feel that all of your slides are critical**
** ****If you are breezing along with no questions, don’t assume your audience is hanging on every word**
**Interaction is critical – invite questions; if none, then ask questions and make them answer**
**Multiple speakers help**

**Bag of Tricks**

***Workshops -- Structure for learning***

**Notes:**
Just making up some stuff here.....not sure what you’re looking for.

## Bag of Tricks

** ****Increase interest and learning; pass around when possible**
** ****More set-up time, may not be “objective”, air travel difficult**
** ****Demos – e.g. proper wall insulation, duct sealing, air sealing**
** ****Software demos – make concise, provide handout, work out ahead of time, make sure software is available and attendees know how to get it**
**In-class projects ****– group problems, use room as an example, site visits, walk around building**
**Videos**
