Green Remodeling and Building - Dallas

Three of the highest expenses of your life are your hot water, your food, and your home. That's because they all take energy.

Living sustainably saves energy, thus money, particularly as we transition to higher, and then even higher, costs of that energy

But not all ways of living sustainably are practical. And some sustainable living is most practical (like solar hot water) when you do-it-yourself.

We have three speakers to talk about practical sustainability--all experts in their fields.

Phil Fisher, licensed electrician, solar designer/installer, and owner of Solar Systems Installations, will discuss solar hot water (now often best if you DIY) and hot water by heat pump.
