Energy assessments help consumers identify areas in their home where significant energy savings can be made. Energy assessments also identify occupant behaviors that contribute to overall energy use. The E-Conservation Consumer Energy Education Program successfully utilized home energy audits to help consumers identify building structure and occupant behaviors that contributed to high energy use in their homes. Examining impacts of the audits revealed that those homeowners who were able to implement suggestions from the energy audits realized home energy savings. Examination also revealed that time, cost, and lack of information served as barriers to making home energy efficient improvements.}, number={1}, journal={Housing and Society}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Kirby, Sarah D. and Guin, Autumn H. and Langham, Laura and Chilcote, Amy}, year={2014}, month={Jan}, pages={71–88} }

In order to maintain and enhance field faculty competency, NCCE uses distance technology to provide training to field faculty located in offices across the state. Although not the only method of training, distance training allows NCCE to maximize resources by reducing the cost of travel and protecting valuable professional time. This chapter’s case studies identify areas in which NCCE utilizes distance education to train employees for on-going competency development, crisis response, program development and implementation, and program evaluation. }, booktitle={Remote Workforce Training}, publisher={IGI Global}, author={Chapman, Benjamin and Kirby, Sarah D. and Levine, Katrina}, year={2014}, month={Mar}, pages={150–168} }
