Renovate Green Home Tour Takes Place October 17, 2009

Oct. 8, 2009 - PRLog -- Westborough, MA –  Homeowners can discover how to drastically reduce their heating bills and make their home more environmentally-friendly at a special green educational event held on Saturday, October 17, 2009.  

The Renovate Green Home Tour takes place at a recently green renovated, historic Westborough home.  During this special event, homeowners have the rare opportunity to step inside a historic home that has been completely renovated with energy efficiency and green practices in mind.  Hidden inside the classic Greek revival home are surprising 21st century renovations that allow this over 150-year old home to outperform newly-built traditional homes.

Bill Hulstrunk, SuperInsulation Expert and Technical Manager for National Fiber, believes superinsulation techniques are one of the best ways homeowners can maximize the energy efficiency of their homes, no matter what age the home is. “A fitting tribute to the old, historic homes of Massachusetts is to make them better by using green renovation techniques. This super- efficient home has estimated annual heating costs of $656, significantly less than it takes to heat an average home in the area,” he adds.

The Renovate Green Home Tour will have several industry-experts on hand to discuss the benefits of making green renovations to their current homes.  Attendees can learn how energy-efficient windows can improve the comfort and performance of their home.

Discover the benefits and savings provided by utilizing superinsulation techniques in their home. See how to transform a historic home into a super-efficient 21st century home. Find out what a zero-net energy house is and how it’s changing the way houses are built.  Learn more about rebates and other special programs that make green, energy-efficient remodeling more affordable.
