Mpower Your Hme:


Your Earth and Your House



Trainer Bob Pfeiffer prepares a prop which will be used to demonstrate heat loss in "critical junctions", found in many of Madison's cape-cod homes.


This section of the prop represents a knee wall attic section. 



Basement rim joists are notorious for air leakage, heat loss and mold growth.  Home-owners learned methods to cost-effectively seal and insulate these areas.



Attendees learn how Sustain Dane’s Rain Reserve Rain Barrels are a great way to harvest rain water for outdoor uses, reducing not only water use but the electricity used to pump and heat water.

 



Focus on Energy was on hand to answer questions about energy efficiency and financial incentives for installing renewable energy.



Attendees watch cellulose being "dense-pack blown" into a see-through wall cavity,  allowing them to understand how this effective wall insulation retrofit procedure works.



MGE’s portable Solar Energy Exhibit provides solar education at any event!
