The days are getting colder and winter is almost here, so now is the time to take steps to save money and make your home more energy efficient. This forum will give you the information you need to get started.
Architect and LEED AP Tom Weber, EcoBroker and certified home energy auditor Will Litvin, and LEED AP Dave Kessler will present the results of a recent energy audit on a local home.
Using that home as an example, the trio will walk through a PowerPoint describing what you can do to weatherize and make your home more energy efficient, give you estimates on costs associated with improvements, and provide resources you can turn to for assistance. They will also discuss design ideas for homeowners planning to renovate or those planning to build new homes.
