Greening Your Vintage Home: The Basics

Preservation Austin is hosting this three-part series through July about “Greening Your Vintage Home”.

Interested in making your vintage home more energy efficient? Wonder whether solar would be a good fit?  Have too much water or want to retain water in and around your home?
