Local energy efficiency nonprofits will hold their annual heat pump workshop on Saturday, Dec. 7.<\/p>\n

Renewable Juneau will host its fourth annual Heat Pump Workshop at the University of Alaska Southeast Technical Education Center across from Juneau-Douglas High School from 2:30-4:30 p.m. A panel of experts will discuss the benefits of heat pumps in the home, which a press release from Renewable Juneau claims can save 40-70% on heating costs, as well as other improvements to environmental impact.<\/p>\n

Representatives will be present from Alaska Heat Smart, a joint nonprofit established between Renewable Juneau, Alaska Electric Light & Power, the Southeast Building Industry Association, the Juneau Economic Development Council and the City and Borough of Juneau. Representatives will explain some of the cost-saving services the new organization provides. Heat pump contractors will also be there to help answer questions.<\/p>\n
