We propose the use of an orthogonal wave packet basis to analyze the low-energy physics of interacting electron systems with short range order. We give an introduction to wave packets and the related phase space representation of fermion systems, and show that they lend themselves to an efficient description of short range order. We illustrate the approach within an RG calculation for the one-dimensional Hubbard chain.
