We have written our own HEET How-to Guide, a step-by-step manual on how to organize a group, find a home to weatherize, etc. We even have a recommended list of different tasks unskilled volunteers can accomplish with little guidance. These tasks have the highest return on investment in terms of energy savings versus cost.
