Franklin, New Hampshire - Cold rooms, leaky windows and high energy bills? We would all like to live in a draft-free energy efficient house, but how do we achieve this with an older home?

Join the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance on January 12, at the Webster Tay House, Daniel Webster Farm in Franklin, with Bob Tortorice (owner of Building Alternatives and presently under contract as a Technical Adviser for the Berlin Better Buildings program) as he presents Air Sealing for Improved Energy Efficiency in Your Old House. Bob will offer a presentation on the importance and value of air sealing your home, demonstrate a blower door test and infrared camera assessment, and follow up with technical tips on ways to improve your home's building envelope.

“This is a great program to help home owners better understand the thermal envelope of older homes,” said Beverly Thomas, Program Associate at the Alliance. “You will gain a better understanding of how your old house functions, what is necessary to improve its operation and energy efficiency and practical measures to achieve this.”

Reservations required. NHPA members - $15, Non-members - $25, Membership Special (program + 1 yr. membership) - $35. To register, please call Beverly at 603-224-2281. For further details visit www.nhpreservation.org
