Hey Lyndsay,
This was a nice event. I caught the Fri PM tour, unfortunately missing Sarah Susanka’s talk.
The house is an interesting, simple, elegant design and beautifully constructed.
Chris Miles gave a thorough presentation, which certainly helped to expand awareness of energy efficiency issues among lay home-owners.
Look forward to more events like this. Thanks for keeping me posted!
Will
