Greening the Existing Home - Windows and Radiant Barrier

As part of Turning Houston Green's webinar series on how to green an existing home, here is the recorded version of our 4th program. Michael Strong and I discuss Windows and Radiant Barrier.

It's not just about getting new windows or finding a radiant barrier. Here we provide you with all of the questions you may have and/or need to ask your installers to get the biggest bang for your buck. We also talk about the new Tax Credits to help you maximize what is available.

Our next webinar is on March 28th and we will be going over Indoor Air Quality. We would love to have you join us!

I would also like to take a quick moment to Thank our Sponsors for helping to bring this to you:

Good one Stephanie. There is an FHA loan solution for purchase or refinance called the EEM or Energy Efficient Mortgage that may cover the costs of this upgrade even at the time of purchase. Check with your favorite lender and see if they offer it. It will cover up to $8000 in energy efficient upgrades.

Hi Stephanie - Thanks for making this wonderful effort in being pro-active in reducing the carbon footprint in Houston. Like real estate, this issue is local. There are things you do in Houston that wouldn't be necessary in other parts of the country. I'm currently working to learn more about what we can do in our little part of the world. Thank for the video and being proactive!

Stephanie, I am so impressed with your comprehensive approach to green housing. This is a great tool and resource for home buyers and homeowners in your area and really for everyone!
