Free Workshop - "Super-Efficient Homes"

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with MAINE HOME REALTY Lic# BR916095

Before heading out for a break this Labor Day Weekend, I need to tell you about a Free Workshop being held locally: "Super-Efficient Homes: Build New or Renovate."  The workshop is being conducted by Al Heathof Arrowsic on September 10, 2009 at 7:00 pm at F.W. Horch Sustainable Goods and Supplies at 56 Maine Street in Brunswick.  This workshop is open to the public and there is no cost to attend.

People often think of energy efficient buildings and products as being more expensive.  Al Heath, a contractor/designer turned Maine Home Performance Energy Auditor, immersed himself in the science of energy efficiency relative to buildings when he designed and built a home for his family 5 years ago.  The house is 2000 square feet and a year's heating (remember, this is Maine) can be accomplished with 50 gallons of kerosene and one cord of wood and most of the hot water comes from a solar powered system - - Now that's a Super-Efficient Home!

Mr. Heath will share lessons learned during his own process with workshop attendees.  A list of helpful sources and contractors will also be provided.  Individual questions will also be answered.  You will get a good idea where to start to build or retrofit your own Super-Efficient Home project.

The workshop offers refreshments and handouts, too.  Space is limited.  Visit www.FWHorch.com for more information.

Hi Terry: This sounds like an event everyone should attend.  I also was under the impression that Green means more $$.

We have so many old homes in Bath that "Green" usually does mean more $$$ - trying to retro-fit new technology to old construction.  I'm sure Al will have lots of good info for building new as well as for greening up our antique homes.
