Join WashU EnviroCorps & the Sierra Club to build insulating window inserts for low-income St. Louis households. The window inserts will enhance households’ energy efficiency and improve resident comfort. Window inserts are like interior storm windows, increasing insulation and significantly reducing air infiltration. Volunteers will wrap wooden frames with plastic film and apply foam tape around the edges. No experience necessary. Pastries provided.
Much of St. Louis’s aging building stock has original single pane windows with many gaps and cracks that let in hot air in the summer and cold air in the winter, driving up utility bills for residents. The issue is often particularly acute for low-income residents due to both the poor condition of existing windows and limited incomes to absorb high heating and cooling costs.
