BELLOWS FALLS — Sustainable Energy Outreach Network and the Rockingham Conservation Commission will present a two-part program, “How Older Houses Work,” on May 23 and 30 from 5:30 to 8 pm.
This is an opportunity to learn about drafts, moisture, and heat, how they're interrelated, and how buildings function as a system.
Peter Yost, principal of Building-Wright, will be the presenter. He has more than 30 years of experience in building, researching, teaching, writing, and consulting on high performance buildings. His expertise ranges from construction waste management and advanced framing to energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and building durability.
Session 1 on May 23 examines how heat and moisture interact in buildings and looks at some building science “puzzles.” Session 2 on May 30 is an opportunity for participants to bring their own building science puzzles and questions and will conclude with a survey of the tools and techniques used to diagnose building issues and energy efficiency.
This program is being held at the Masonic Temple in Bellows Falls. Light refreshments will be provided by Efficiency Vermont. For more information and to register, visit www.seon.info/public-forums. For questions, email [email protected].
