Energy Conservation Saves You Money!
Middleville, October 5, 2009 – The temperatures of the last few days are evidence that cooler weather is settling in for the long term. While this change of seasons is one of the great delights of life in Canada, it is also a time when we begin to think ahead about how to keep our homes comfortable in the months ahead.
The Art of Being Green has drawn on the expertise of some of their partners to plan an Energy Conservation Workshop for November 21. This workshop will provide many ideas to keep your home warm and cozy, save some energy and save money at the same time. It will be held at the Middleville Community Centre on the Wolf Grove Road from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and the cost is just $20.00.
The workshop will include a variety of topics plus opportunities for networking and a round table session with “one on one” appointments with our speakers. Steve Coleman from Rideau Home Hardware Building Centre will kick things off with a presentation about The All Year Payback of Winterizing Your Home. This timely topic will cover the quick and easy things like weather-stripping but will also include information about doors, windows and insulation. Following this, information will be presented about the availability of government grants for home energy renovations. There are a variety of programs from which to choose, and this presentation will make sense of the criteria and eligibility.
A nutritious lunch will be provided by Art of Being Green volunteers with time allotted for networking and sharing of ideas and resources. After lunch, Chris Weissflog from Ecogen Energy Inc. will share his knowledge about Integrated Solar Thermal Systems. Many people are pursuing solar power as an alternative and Chris will bring us his first-hand experience on this topic.
At the end of the formal presentations, there will be some round table question and answer sessions with the workshop presenters. Participants can book short one-on-one appointments with the presenters to have questions specific to their situation answered.
Space is limited for this workshop and pre-registration is required. Call Judy Fisk at 613-278-0816 or email Judy at jefi@sympatico.ca to reserve your space. Payment will be collected at the door.
For further information about the Energy Conservation Workshop or the Art of Being Green, visit our website at www.artofbeingreen.ca. The Art of Being Green is an incorporated not-for-profit organization managed and run by a volunteer Board of Directors.
