Neighborhood Energy Efficiency Workshops
Greater Portland Landmarks will present a series of energy efficiency workshops to assist home and building owners in older and historic neighborhoods of greater Portland to make their buildings more energy efficient while maintaining both historic character and property values.
These informational workshops will be presented by Christopher Closs, Greater Portland Landmarks’ Field Service Representative; Peter Taggart, Principal, Taggart Construction, an expert in preservation of older homes and buildings; and Hilary Bassett, Executive Director of Greater Portland Landmarks.
Workshops will provide specific techniques and approaches to reduce energy costs, including discussion of strategies, and ample question and answer time. Workshop participants will receive an energy efficiency workbook and handouts outlining specific energy techniques and how-to outlines, checklists and energy efficiency resources, including funding and tax credits information.
The Program will also include examples of the Portland Region’s architectural styles and building history, emphasizing the impact of neighborhood architectural character as it relates to the historic significance of the area.
