HOUSES THAT WORK™

Dear Houses That Work attendee:

Recently you participated in the Houses that Work (HTW) educational session presented by the Energy & Environmental Building Association (EEBA). Did you like what was presented at the session? Were you inspired to implement what you learned? Would you like additional resources to support your commitment to better building performance?

Our evaluations tell us that HTW attendees want to take the next step in better building performance when they complete the session. But most have shared with us that they could use additional information and resources. So the Houses that Work team has compiled this communication with some great resources specific to the climate zone where you build. We have included some marketing tips, links to upcoming conferences and a listing of related publications and books. 

Thanks for joining us and we look forward to seeing you at the next Houses that Work advanced educational session in your area.

Sincerely,

Kathleen Guidera
EEBA Executive Director

Bright ideas for builders.
They are the rage of the consumer market and if you have any question just visit your local big box consumer store where promotions and displays abound.  Are energy efficient light bulbs an opportunity to save the planet or are we just riding a wave of interest in green products?  How do they compare with incandescent reflector lamps?

We have some samples of how builders are using this increased interest in energy efficiency to sell houses. CLICK HERE for marketing tips from builders who might make you “green” with envy and see how the EEBA Excellence in Building conference can shed some light on selling green!
