Residential and commercial buildings consume a lot of energy.  The people inside of the buildings are an influential factor in how energy is consumed but the building design and components can also play a major role.   Through a series of hands-on investigations, students will explore how hear transfers into and out of a system.  They will also learn how to conduct a home energy audit and will use what they learn to design an energy efficient home.
