05 Dec Green Building & Solar Workshop at Texas Renewables 2012

A Great Offer Supporting Local Development

WHY:

Texas Renewables 2012 Conference begins its annual conference with a workshop that may be the best deal around for learning about green building and solar energy.

WHAT:

These popular workshops have presenters who have proven track records and bring to participants years of knowledge and value.  Learn why good design and appropriate construction techniques are the most important components of the building process. A carefully thought out plan will save money on all utilities, reduce maintenance, increase your property value, and provide comfort and beauty for the lifetime of your home. Follow up that carefully executed plan with a solar installation that will knock off a nice portion of those remaining kilowatts that hot Texas summers and January’s cold Texas nights demand.  Workshop includes:

•               A half day of instruction with Laverne Williams (Design and Building

                                for Energy Efficiency) and Cathy Redson (Solar 101).

•               Free advice from local green building professionals.

•               Break Refreshments and pass to TREIA Conference Welcome Reception.
