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:

Lone Star College Offering 'How To Make Your Home Energy Efficient'

For those that have been around the Houston area for an extended amount of time, you are familiar with North Harris Montgomery College - The local College that not only offers courses for those starting out their College Education, BUT ALSO a Huge Variety of Continuing Education Courses for both Professionals AND Homeowners!

North Harris College this past year changed their name to Lone Star College Systems!

One of the Courses that is on the Spring 2009 Schedule for the location on WW Thorne by Intercontinental Airport is 'How To Make Your Home More Energy Efficient'!  If you follow my blog, you guessed it right.  It's being taught by Yours Truly - Stephanie Edwards-Musa - Houston's Realtor and Certified EcoBroker -

The course costs $35 and I guarantee that I will have that money back to you through a lower Utility Bill with what you learn in the class.

The Course runs 2 nights a week for 2 weeks in both March and April from 6p-8p in the evening.  The majority of the coursework will be what you can do yourself over a weekend with some Homework at the end of each day to make it a little more fun learning and so that you can get a good idea of how YOUR particular home works.

Every home is different, this course will teach you about YOURS in particular.

It's not just about Light Bulbs!  We will go in to how you need to have a strategic approach when sealing up your home and step by step what should be done to maximize the money you spend so that it is not wasted.

To register for the class you can call the College at 281-618-5400 and ask for the Continuing Education Dept.  I hope to see you there!  Below is a Calendar that has the Courses. 

March 17-26 on Tuesdays and Thursdays

April 20-29 on Mondays and Wednesdays
