Right now, the clean energy industry is booming, with an expected growth of 17.2% annually between now and 2030. And Sketchbox, a free energy modeling software from Slipstream, is an important tool in educating the next generation. 

In our latest podcast episode, Renee talks to Ben Heymer, Gabi Kim, and Jim Reichling—two Slipstreamers involved in the creation and ongoing development of Sketchbox and an educator who uses Sketchbox in his classroom (respectively)—about the benefits of the software and how educators use it to teach energy modeling to their students.

In this shockingly insightful episode, Renee talks to Slipstreamers Jon Koliner and Kevin Frost about the benefits of commercial and residential electrification, recent projects they’ve worked on, and why it’s time to finally ditch that gas stove.
