Abstract
A need exists in the Deep Energy Retrofit industry to educate and enable homeowners to make informed decisions about energy efficiency projects. This paper describes a novel approach to inform the non-building scientist about the physics of building performance in order to motivate them to invest in energy efficiency measures for their homes. The aim is to use animated multi- and hypermedia tools uploaded to the social media to reduce the amount of time and instruction needed for homeowners to understand the value of energy retrofits.
