State Requirements

Understanding the significance of energy conservation is important, especially in Alaska, where unique challenges arise due to extreme weather conditions and remote locations. This course explores the impact and benefits of energy conservation practices for homeowners in Alaska and examines how adopting energy-efficient practices can reduce utility bills, mitigate environmental impacts, and enhance economic and environmental sustainability.

Alaska has vast and diverse landscapes, which calls for comprehensive regulations and procedures for land use, planning, zoning, and building codes. A review of Alaska's regulatory framework helps licensees understand the state's land use laws and procedures. Examining zoning laws, planning regulations, and building codes gives licensees insight into the mechanisms shaping land development and conservation efforts in Alaska.

This two-hour mandatory course fulfills Alaska's 2024-2026 DCE requirement for the topic of Environmental Issues and Land Use.

Course highlights include:

  • Energy efficiency and conservation in Alaska
  • Alaska's Energy Independence Fund
  • Energy-saving tips
  • Energy-efficient improvement options
  • Impact of energy efficiency on resale value
  • Land use and development in Alaska
  • Municipal land use
  • Zoning land
  • Building codes and standards
