Retrofitting An Existing Home Green Webinar Series Part 3

Just a quick reminder that the 3rd part of our Webinar series on how to make an Existing Home Green with myself and Michael Strong of Brothers Strong is this Saturday February 21st at 11 am.  The topic this week will be HVAC and Insulation. 

We will go over what you need to know about changing out and upgrading your existing Heat and A/C system to one that is more efficient and everything in regards to Insulation. 

We have changed the initial dates for the rest of the Series so that we can be all finished up by April 2nd that will have you ready to go for the HOT and HUMID Summer here in Houston!  You can take everything you learn to get those summer utility bills down! 

Here are the topics for the rest of the Series and below is the Calendar for TurningHoustonGreen.  Just take a quick look through and see if there is anything you are interested in!

Recorded Session of Retrofitting Your Home Green Webinar Series 2 - Sealed Spaces

There has been a ton of hype on Spray Foam insulation and 'Sealing' up your attic or Pier and Beam home over the last year.

Part 2 of the Turning Houston Green Webinar Series goes over Sealed Attics and Crawl Spaces with a special look at Spray foam insulation.  Things to look for and when not to consider.  Michael Strong makes some great points in regards to re-insulating your walls (when and how you should do it in a most cost effective way)

If you would like to register for one of the other 6 Sessions that we are going to do just click over and sign up on the Turning Houston Green and Michael Strong Registration Webinar Series page.

Below is the recorded version of it and so that it makes more sense towards the end I recommend viewing the chat archive at the same time.
