Workshops
COST: $10 for non-ACAT members / FREE for ACAT members Interested in super-insulating technology and its potential benefits for a quieter, more efficient, and less costly home? Join us as we learn about vacuum insulated panels (VIPs), a technology around ten times the R-value per inch of common insulation materials offering the potential of very high insulation values in a much narrower assembly. This workshop will cover how VIPs are used around the world to provide exceptional insulation and energy savings along with the challenges and considerations for incorporation in Alaska’s buildings. We’ll cover the benefits, considerations, ongoing use & promising innovation for this technology right here in Alaska. COST: $10 for non-ACAT members / FREE for ACAT members Are Heat Pumps Right for Your Alaskan Home or Business? Join us for this informative workshop exploring the latest advancements in heat pump performance and its unique applications in Alaska. We’ll hear firsthand tips from a heat pump user, discuss performance with a researcher who has tested heat pumps in Alaskan conditions, and learn about funding opportunities and success stories from the Heat Smart program driving heat pump installations in Southeast Alaska. Whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or energy enthusiast, this session offers practical advice and valuable perspectives tailored to Alaska’s needs.
