Shedding Light on the Subject. Solar Pays!
Wednesday, November 16th - Squalicum Boathouse
Energy rates continue to climb. Are we taking full advantage of the power the sun provides? Great design that maximizes solar space heating can dramatically reduce energy consumption and increase natural light. In addition, new state and federal incentives are making solar power incredibly cost effective. We have decided to build on the momentum created on this subject at the October 13th Green Building Conference by inviting speakers Dana Brandt and Jack Hardy to give an extended talk at the Squalicum Boathouse on Wednesday, November 16th, from 3:30 to 6 pm.
Admission is $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Coffee, local apple cider and delectable treats will be provided to make sure your stomach is as happy as your head during this great event. Call (360) 647-7093 to register and pay by check or credit card.
Thanks to Northwest Washington AIA, continuing education hours are available for this event.
