Energy Efficiency and the Historic House on Thursday, February 17 from 1:00 – 2:00 on Zoom
Presentation by Marena Wisniewski and Todd Levine/CT State Preservation Office (SHPO)
Presented by Wilton Historical in collaboration with Wilton Go Green
It’s the age-old adage: “the greenest house is the one already built.”
Historic houses are inherently sustainable, with features built in to capitalize on using and retaining energy. Historic houses can also be updated in appropriate ways to make them even more efficient, some of which you can do yourself. Join us as we share helpful tips and case studies to help owners save money on their bills, help the environment, and maintain your home- all at the same time! Marena Wisniewski and Todd Levine of Connecticut’s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) will present their program on zoom on Thursday, February 17 from 1:00 – 2:00.
