Household energy efficiency can be greatly improved through simple no-cost, low-cost measures, but people need a chance to learn how buildings and their heating, cooling, and electrical systems work. Neighborhood or church-based learning circles for do-it-yourself home energy improvements can give people both knowledge and a chance to learn skills through hands-on weatherization activities. Trained people coming out of the circles can help neighbors who aren't able to do these chores themselves. That's the basic formula behind the EECO (Energy Efficiency Community Outreach) circles that ST started last June. Gay ---------------------------------------------------- Gay Nicholson, Ph.D.
