Your Northern Home is an interactive website that
helps homeowners save energy and money through
building, maintaining, or retrofitting their homes.
Thousands of homeowners have explored videos,
podcasts, and articles on the site, which covers every
aspect of the home–from foundations to walls to
heating appliances.
The continually expanding content reflects more than
a decade of CCHRC research and regional expertise on
building science topics like heat loss, stack effect and
vapor drive. It shares strategies for improving the
energy performance, durability, and health of your
home through insulating, air sealing, ventilating,
occupant behavior, and many other methods.
We are customizing the site for different regions of the
state to target the unique climates and challenges of
Alaska homeowners.
The site was made possible by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation and the Fairbanks North Star Borough.
