Registration is now open for summer workshops!
Due to the popularity of Green Building 101, Light House will be launching Green Building 201 this summer! Building upon the principles of GB101, GB201 provides more in-depth information focused on home energy efficiency. This two-hour workshop is intended for graduates of GB101 and anyone interested in improving the energy efficiency of their home.

Increasing the energy efficiency of your home can significantly reduce its negative environmental impacts and save you money! Participants will learn about the principles of energy efficient design, develop a set of personal energy efficiency goals for their home, and leave with a practical resource workbook.

Key concepts:

Envelope thermal performance
Passive and active solar heating
Ground source heat pumps
Passive air conditioning
Reducing hot water and electricity use
Wind turbines
Cost: $26 (including course workbook)
