The Green Movement has entered the mainstream and is rapidly becoming an integral part of the environment. A Green Home (environmentally friendly) house can be more energy efficient than a traditional house. It can be less expensive to operate, last longer, be more comfortable and be healthier than an existing home. While many Green Homes are new construction, or require a major retro fit to an existing home, there are some relatively easy and inexpensive techniques that can be employed so you may live in a greener home environment. This one session course will look at basic green design, green materials and will cover some incentives that can make the process of creating a Green Home environment more palatable. You will find where to locate green materials, familiarize yourself with basic green terms, and learn the process of making your home green.
The course is taught by David Kelman at the Boston Center for Adult Education, and costs $51 (BCAE member price $43). You may register on line at www.bcae.org. The class will be held Monday, December 14, from 5:30 – 8:30, but if the holiday season precludes your attendance at this time, consider signing up for the second date of Monday, February 22, 2010.
