Anderson, who plans and manages Energy Center training events, is changing that. And a lot more. The environmental link Most of the energy in the US comes from burning fossil fuels. When burned, these fuels release carbon dioxide, which traps heat in the atmosphere like a greenhouse. Unless energy use patterns change.
Training can help do that.
We're focusing on what people need so that they can change how they use energy. Nearly 380 people attended the training, which helps builders construct and market more sustainable, energy efficient homes. Since the partnership began last year, builders have committed to build 225 high performance homes. These homes are 25 percent more efficient than those constructed under the Universal Dwelling Code. That's 12,000 tons of risk reduction for planet Earth.
