The Harvard Energy Advisory Committee is sponsoring a talk on energy efficiency for older homes Jan. 12, 2010 at 7:30 in the Harvard Library. This talk, by Jeff Rhodin, was well-received when he spoke in Lexington in the fall.

HEAC Sponsored Talk: Energy Efficiency for Older Homes

I ran across a great website - EnvironmentalChemistry.com - that is well worth a visit. But one page I found especially appealing was an energy audit report about a typical 1970's ranch home.

Jim Hubert, in Groton Local's energy group, has posted an excellent presentation on saving energy in the home. Furthermore he put the presentation into the public domain!
