<P class=style9>What kinds of "green" building materials and energy-saving
devices will be used in tomorrow's homes or are available now for
renovation projects? How affordable are these materials, what rebates may
be available, and how much energy savings can consumers expect?</P>
<P class=style9>Using Habitat for Humanity Riverside's 11th Street House
project as an example, <STRONG>Jon Dougal </STRONG>(left), and
<STRONG>Michael Bacich</STRONG> (right), will discuss the kinds of "green"
materials now available for new and renovation construction at the April
16 Randall Lewis Seminar Series. The seminar will begin at 5:30 p.m. in
Conference Room E, UCR Extension building, 1200 University Ave. in
Riverside. (See<A href="Images/Room E Map.pdf"> MAP</A>)</P>
<P class=style9>The 11th Street house is Habitat for Humanity Riverside's
first affordable, energy-efficient "green" home built in the city.</P>
<P class=style9>Features of the home include heating and cooling systems
using about half the energy of more conventional systems, LED lighting,
solar tube skylights for natural lighting, solar panels to produce
electricity, an on-demand water heater, drought-tolerant landscaping and a
recycled water system to irrigate the yard. The house was completed and
given to a family in 2008.</P>
<P class=style9><STRONG>Dougal</STRONG> is the Sustainability Director for
Habitat for Humanity Riverside and is active in several other "green"
organizations, including the U.S. Green Building Council and the Solar
Council of the Inland Empire and the Sustainable Furniture Council. In
addition to teaching a class on green building at UCR Extension, Dougal is
a writer and publisher - involved in producing <A
href="http://www.GreenLinkup.com">www.GreenLinkup.com</A>, <A
href="http://www.Talkfloor.com">www.Talkfloor.com</A>, and GreenInsight, a
newsletter for the <A
href="http://www.GreenMotion.org">www.GreenMotion.org</A> website. The
publications reach 300,000 subscribers in 21 countries. </P>
<P class=style9>Dedicated to green building, natural products, and
sustainable living, the eNewsLetters cover all emerging topics,
technologies, processes, and techniques needed by both professionals,
government officials, agriculturalists, biofuel producers, and home owners
in addressing climate change.</P></DIV></TD>
