The Economical Historic Home: Energy Efficiency Workshop for the Old House Owner
February 16, 2010 |
How to care for your old house, protect Rhode Island's heritage, and help save the planet! Do you love your historic home but hate the high heating bills and wasted energy? Learn how to make your old home more "green," saving money and energy without losing its historic character.
The fully-restored Buliod-Perry House (c. 1750) in the heart of historic Newport (29 Touro St.), is the setting for this workshop. Experts will present information and demonstrations on:
- insulation
- weatherizing the building envelope (walls, doors, roof, etc.)
- wood window repair and restoration
- retrofitting for efficient heating systems
- tax credits and funding sources
- and more
Bring the kids too: Historic New England and the Newport Restoration Foundation will be providing fun, hands-on educational activities during the workshop (elsewhere on-site). Suitable for children ages 6 to 12, they will learn about colonial life in Rhode Island.
This workshop is a joint project of Newport Restoration Foundation, Preserve Rhode Island, Historic New England, and theProvidence Revolving Fund, in association with Heritage Restoration, Inc and Heartwood Building & Restoration.
