The Continual Learning Process
Beginning tomorrow, HZG will be away attempting to further his knowledge of Weatherization. Tomorrow is the start of the Affordable Comfort Conference, this year in Cleveland.
In order for anyone or company to continue to grow, it is vital that we continue to learn. Every year, there is a new "nugget" to be had - just when you think you've got it - something changes in the industry to either give you a new perspective or completely change the way you think.
At the Affordable Comfort Conference, there are 3 classes that you can take in a given day (out of 50 or so choices.) Each year, we develop a new way of doing something. Upon my return, I'll share any nuggets that I receive with you - so we can learn together.
When the Ohio Department of Development makes this their main conference to sponsor - you know you will come out smarter (in theory) than when you went in.

Greetings, House-Zen guy!
If you've taken an interest in Weatherization, Affordable Comfort is a great place to start learning.

These links share all you ever wanted to know about the Weatherization Assistance Program, which offers free home energy conservation services for low income households.
Since the inception of our program, over 5.7 million homes have been weatherized with DOE funds. Low-income families will save an average of $358 in reduced first-year energy costs. As for environmental impact, Weatherization measures reduce national energy demand by the equivalent of 18 million barrels of oil each year!

Allison -
Thanks for the web address and your blog -
I just returned from the ACI Annual Conference in Cleveland. It was, as usual, a great learning experience. The networking was top notch - and it generated new business relationships and friendships. The turn-out and tradeshow was unusually thin (it was about the same size as the much smaller regional show in Columbus.)
If you'd allow, I would be more than happy to add your link and blog to our blog-site for others to view.
That would be great, house-zen guy. Thanks so much. We'll be sure to add a link to your site as well.
Cheers,
Allison
