I was at a meeting yesterday at Action Housing here in Pittsburgh on their Green House Project. This project is to be a place where home owners can go to get educated in what is being termed GREEN. They can put their hands on it-see how it works-see how it is installed.
Contractors can come for training, get some hands on time in a home designed to let them see and do with some of the new technologies. Gain insights that perhaps a contractor might not get unless they installed something incorrectly.
Provide opportunities for new business owners to explore technologies that they otherwise might only read about. Provide Vendors/Manufacturers a place to display their Green products and show the consumer why it is not just good to go green but it is the right thing to do for our future.
Many home owners only hear what a contractor tells them. This Green House will be a place where they can see it, feel it and hear about it without it being part of a Sales Pitch. I am really excited to be a part of this along with the URA, Habitat for Humanity, Pittsburgh Green Inovation, MWELA and many more organizations. If you would like to see more about it, perhaps participate in planning, be able to offer training, anything to help move this forward you may contact Lindsay Ruprecht at Action Housing.
Learn What Green Is, Learn What Green Can Do For You, Learn It At The Pittsburgh Green House.
