Energy Empowerment Workshops
The Falls Brook Centre Energy Empowerment Workshops are

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy purchases or projects. FBC delivers the
training workshops onsite and demonstrates home energy solutions
and installation techniques utilizing our own renewable energy systems.
The two day workshops are divided into two main parts:
| Day

Day Two: |
·
energy fundamentals
·
energy budgeting and economics
·
simple efficiency and
conservation measures
·
renewable technology overview,

basic
system design and component

·
safety and precaution
·
resource assessment and siting
·
mounting and anchoring
·
wiring and fusing
·
monitoring and data collection
·
component connection, setup, and
installation. |
The overview portions of the workshops cover a broad range of technologies,
however the activities, exercises, and installations are related
to Falls Brook Centre core competencies of solar thermal, photovoltaic,
wind, and biodiesel systems. Participants are given the opportunity
to focus their workshop experience on one of these technologies.
