Local
owner/author Deborah Carnes Christie details the designing and construction of
a healthy, energy efficient, low maintenance, and attractive home. Deb and her
architect/builder John Hartley will be on hand to discuss the design and
creation of Deb’s home called GREEN HOUSE.
They will discuss researching and using passive solar, Modernist
design, metal roofing, exterior stucco, low-pollution built-in cabinetry and
paints, exposed ductwork, and more. The book also explores tapping experts and
resources for decisions on energy-efficient heating and air conditioning
systems, such as active solar water heating, an auxiliary pump to minimize
waste and wait time for hot water, and a device for injection of fresh air
into an efficient dual-fuel heat pump and gas furnace. It also covers
specifications for safety and emergency devices within a green home.
