The Dallas Alternative Energy June Meeting - Home Energy Efficiency

Just a note: This is tailored toward home owners. If you're a builder, you probably know most of this.

We've heard about the lastest in green homes, but what if you have a 30-year-old home that you want to upgrade? Robin will be giving a 45-minute presentation on "Improving Energy Efficiency in Your Home." This is the presentation that she has given in the past to Live Green in Plano volunteers.

Drawing from research, discussions with building specialists, and her own experiences in making changes to her home (which resulted in large energy savings), she will talk about effectiveness in areas of electricity, cooling, heating, and water (with some additional notes on alternative technologies). It not only about making some modifications to your house, but about changing habits. Some energy efficiencies can be gained simply by changing the way we cook and refrigerate our food, and wash and dry our clothes.
