Buildings account for 80% of energy used in Cambridge. Maximizing the energy efficiency of building through weatherization is a top priority. MITEI is partnering with the Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET) to offer students an opportunity to weatherize a Boston-based building. At this training session, you will learn and apply a wide-range of weatherization skills and also learn how to do a thorough energy-use audit.
