| Overview
|
| The University of Alaska, Fairbanks–Chukchi Campus intends to use its Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting Communities (AN/NHIAC) grant to revise the existing construction trades program to reflect the needs of the local housing authorities and the research of the Cold Climate Housing Research Center (CCHRC) into high efficiency, alternative energy use housing for Arctic communities. Chukchi Campus, in partnership with the Alaska Technical Center and the Northwest Inupiat Housing Authority, will train an underserved workforce in carpentry with a specific emphasis on energy solutions for the Arctic. Students completing this training program will be certified in cold climate construction. Also, during the summer of 2011, Chukchi Campus’s CTT students will assist CCHRC in building an energy-efficient Arctic home in the village of Buckland. CCHRC has an excellent reputation with involving each community they work in with the planning, design and construction of highly energy efficient homes which are designed to protect the family within from harsh, unforgiving Arctic winters. These homes also save the family thousands of dollars in energy costs per year.
