Dena Strait is a licensed architect in the state of Alaska and has nine years of experience at an Anchorage based firm working on clinics, both large and small, battered women’s shelters, museums and a variety of other projects. Having joined Alaska Housing Finance Corporation as an energy specialist this past summer, she has had a eye-opening experience in seeing many of the projects she worked on now being retrofitted for energy efficiency. Please join us to hear about her and AHFC’s quest to make energy efficiency a proactive design choice rather than a reactive retrofit program.

Scott Waterman has been with AHFC working on energy programs for the last 18 years. As the manager of all State Energy Programs, he helps analyze the energy program needs across the state, designs programs to address these needs and secures and grants funds to run various programs ranging from research to energy efficiency retrofits across the state.

Topics to be discussed include energy codes, Alaska Retrofit Information System (ARIS), Senate Bill (SB) 220, State loans programs and future energy classes to be offered to designers, engineers, policy makers, developers and contractors during 2012. You won't want to miss out!
