Are you facing another year of reduced capital outlay that delays plans for green energy renovations to lower fuel and power consumption? We all want to help save the environment, and we will as long as change makes sense and it is possible with our budget. Finding inexpensive energy saving solutions that create quick cash back from rebates, tax incentives and paid incentives from the power company along with lower energy bills makes moving forward with the right solution a “no brainer”! In this workshop we will explore exceptional green energy systems including LED lighting, clean power systems, mechanical systems and Architectural strategies for phased implementation of these.
