Join Historic New England’s old house energy experts for an afternoon workshop with demonstrations on energy savings: appropriate retrofits to your older or historic home, weatherizing wooden windows and doors, simple upgrades to save energy, and retrofit risks and opportunities. Let our preservation experts answer your questions on energy retrofits that can “green” your old house in keeping with its historic character.  Learn about the risks and opportunities for making your old house more energy efficient, get a series of tips on simple, cost effective, and reversible ways to save energy in an old house, and learn why keeping your old wood windows, and repairing them, makes sense architecturally and environmentally.

Presentations are by Historic New England staff, followed by an Old House Clinic question and answer session.

• Historic Preservation Services Manager Sally Zimmerman, Old House Energy Retrofits: Risks and Opportunities
• Preservation Project Manager Kerry Vautrot, Simple Ways to Save Energy in Historic Houses
• Preservation Carpentry Foreman Bruce Blanchard, Keep Your Wood Windows and Save Energy

This clinic, presented by Historic New England, the Andover Historical Society, and the Lowell Historic Board, is at Historic New England’s Collections and Conservation Center, Haverhill, Massachusetts.

Tickets are $15 for Historic New England Historic Homeowner members, $25 Historic New England general members and Andover Historical Society members, $40 non-members.
