Man, look at these graduates! These are our first class of PV101 SEI Alaskan students to pass their PV101 course taught by Alaskans. Amanda and I at Sunstone Electric LLC and University of Alaska Fairbanks couldn’t be happier with our students. It was intensive. It was 8 hours a day for 6 straight days. Man, did these guys want to learn. They stayed late, asked questions, led discussion after discussion. They just absorbed every little bit they could. I’ve never been much of a teacher, more of a do-er, but I can see why teachers love their jobs. Watching new students get taken away with solar the way I was when I took my first solar class; is an intoxicating feeling. Big thanks to Carol Weis, Karo Fernandez, Kyle Bolger at Remote Energy and Solar Energy International for planting the seed and being the best teachers that Amanda and I could ask for. (couldn’t tag Roger, Brad or Chris Brooks, but them too!) Presenting our First Class…
We’ve been having a lot of conversations this week at the Building Performance Association’s National Home Performance Conference in Minneapolis about this issue. Did you know the average home in Anchorage uses 127,000 BTUs per square foot annually? Energy efficiency is the most attractive “fuel” Alaskans have available to help close the gap left by dwindling Cook Inlet gas, and it’s 100% local — no need to import it on tankers from Canada or Mexico. https://lnkd.in/gCf2PGsM
