Retrofits for Climate Resilience

Hi all,

I’m teaching a community ed class in Boise called “Home Retrofitting for Climate Resilience”. I’ve decided to post my slideshows here as well (with added text and a little more generalized information) in the hopes that they can help others. Some of this can be pretty U.S. specific, and a lot of it assumes that you’ve got a wood-framed house, but there’s also information that can apply to different areas & building types.

These will be continual works in progress, and I’d love to get feedback from people - if you have anything you think should be added or edited, please get in touch!
