One can ask questions and discover ways people are conserving energy, saving money and protecting the environment. Examples of what you may see on the Green Buildings Open House include passive solar heating and design, solar hot water collection and storage, radiant floor heating, the generation of electricity using photovoltaics (solar panels) or wind, use of energy-saving appliances and techniques (super-insulation and sealing air spaces), use of sustainable and healthy building materials, and the use of water-saving fixtures.
