Posted on | June 2, 2009 | 3 Comments
Live in Brooklyn? You are INVITED!
Join us at Sustainable Kensington/Windsor Terrace’s first HOME ENERGY CONSERVATION TEACH-IN!
Come to the Oak and the Iris Café, located at 2826 Fort Hamilton Parkway on the corner of East 4th Street on Wednesday, June 17th from 6:30-8:30PM to learn how you can make your home or apartment building healthier, more energy efficient and environmentally responsible.
- Energy Conservation techniques
- Weatherization: Waste less energy through air sealing, increased insulation, window upgrades and improved ventilation.
- Solar Panels: Learn if your building is a good candidate for installing solar panels and start making your own electricity and hot water.
- Meet neighbors who have weatherized their homes and installed solar panels.
- Hear from local Contractors and Providers about costs, financial and environmental benefits and government incentives to help offset the costs.
Guest Speakers will include representatives from AEON Solar, A.S.K. Construction, Solar 1, and 1BOG (One Block Off the Grid).
We encourage you to arrive at 6:30 to chat with our presenters and your neighbors before the formal presentation at 7:00. We encourage you to purchase a delicious cup of coffee, muffin, sandwich, or dinner entrée from our lovely eco-minded hosts.
Sustainable KWT is a project started by two Brooklyn homeowners, Sarah Goodman of Windsor Terrace, an environmental educator, and Ellen Honigstock of Kensington, an architect specializing in sustainable strategies for existing buildings. Our goal is to build community through education and actions focused on reducing our local environmental impact. Contact saregood1@gmail.com or ellen@ehapc.com with any questions.
