Amongst the online training modules in the Australian Flexible 
Learning Framework is "Sustainable Energy" from Swan TAFE in WA 
<http://toolboxes.flexiblelearning.net.au/series7/707.htm>. This 
teaches how to assess a home for low energy use.

The module is a similar price to others in the AFLF catalog: $409.15 
For this you can train an unlimited number of people and modify the 
content under the AEShareNet-S "Share and Return" Licence 
<http://www.aesharenet.com.au/S/>. You can preview the module at
<http://www.westone.wa.gov.au/toolbox7/energy/>.

Such courses could be very useful in teaching about how to reduce 
energy use. Perhaps the Linkers who have been discussing low energy 
lighting need to do the course.  ;-)
