About
COSC's Energy Efficiency Rehab Training is part of a collective effort led by Iowa Central Community College through a State of Iowa Energy Sector Partnership grant to increase job skills and effectively address Iowa's inventory of existing homes and commercial buildings. The result is Iowa's premiere Energy Efficient Rehab Training curriculum for community colleges, with accompanying free workshops being offered across the state. The purpose of the program is to share Iowa's quality green retrofit knowledge as widely as possible and teach how sustainable rehabilitation can benefit our homes, businesses, communities, health, pocketbooks and the environment.
