Learn How to Make Your Home More Comfortable and Energy-Efficient

Weatherization Skillshop courses are designed to give you a solid understanding of building science and to teach the skills you need to accomplish specific weatherization tasks. You will learn the core fundamentals as well as the hands-on techniques needed to begin improving building efficiency on your own.

Whole-house energy efficiency starts with an energy audit. If you have not had a recent energy audit for your home, we recommend that you have a certified auditor review your building before you undertake energy improvements. An energy audit typically costs $250-$500. Learn about how you can participate in Efficiency Vermont's Home Performance with Energy Star DIY Program.

If you've already had your audit, bring your audit report to your skillshop; it will provide important background information to help your instructor give you the right advice for your building.
