Learn about energy efficiency while touring a cool home Looking to beat the summer heat? Join us at a green building tour!
In many of its communities, Meritage Homes features a deconstructed home, which shows the numerous energy-efficiency features that are standard in its developments. We will tour one of these homes; learn more about the features; and discuss energy efficiency in Arizona, including why energy efficient building codes and beyond code programs are so important and how they help reduce energy consumption, limit water use, and reduce harmful pollution, plus ensure that people's homes are more comfortable. This tour is a great way to learn about energy efficiency measures that could work in both existing and new homes. This will be our only Energy Team meeting in August, so we encourage all members of the team to attend, to share your knowledge, and to learn more. Family and friends are also welcome! Please join us! For more information and to RSVP, contact Tiffany Sprague at (602) 253-9140 or tiffany.sprague@sierraclub.org. |
