Hour Two: Green Design
and Construction
remote broadcast - Midwest Renewable Energy Fair in Madison,
Wisconsin
|
Building a new home? Thinking about doing some remodeling? Find
out how to make your home, school, office, or development as energy-efficient
as possible in this hour of Science Friday as we take a look at
green design and construction techniques.
This week, we'll be broadcasting live from the grounds of the
Midwest Renewable
Energy Fair in Madison, Wisconsin. We'll be the guests of
the nice folks at Wisconsin Public
Radio.

Efficient homes can be traditional, like this adobe home
being fitted with solar panels...
|

...or futuristic, like this solar dome house in New Mexico.

During this hour of the program, we'll be speaking with experts
about how to design a building for energy efficiency, how to retrofit
existing structures to incorporate green design methods, and efforts
to extend environmental design beyond the traditional one-family
home to larger projects such as schools, apartment buildings,
and office towers.
Call in with your green design questions, from daylighting to
graywater recycling - our number is 1-800-989-8255. Or, if you're
