Whole House Energy Workshop
May 3-5, 2013 |
If you have plans to renovate or remodel your house, this workshop offers a decision-making process that could help you analyze your building’s needs and create a strategy for implementing changes, all in keeping with the historic character of your building. The workshop will use two historic houses in Astoria as real-life examples to analyze for improvements to energy efficiency, comfort, and livability.
Taught by architect Anthony Stoppiello, the workshop will begin with a Friday evening slideshow. On Saturday, participants will visit two Astoria houses to hear the owner’s needs and learn about potential design decisions and techniques, including materials, off the shelf technology, and lifestyle choices as they impact energy use. On Sunday, participant teams will present their strategies for making improvements in each house.
Stoppiello has over 35 years experience, and emphasizes solar design, environmentally preferable materials and a whole systems approach in his practice. He has served as Sustainability Division Chair for the American Solar Energy Society and teaches Green Building and Thermal and Moisture Protection classes for Clatsop’s Historic Preservation Program. He and his wife Victoria inherited an 1895 house in Ilwaco and renovated it to improve natural light, heat circulation, esthetics, spatial function, and weatherization…and in the process reduced their electricity use by 67% without sacrificing the historic ambiance of their building.
The workshop is open to the public. College credit is available. May apply toward continuing education.
