This weekend (April 18-20) the Vermont Home and Garden Show will be taking place at the Champlain Valley Expo Center.
If you attended last year, you’ll know that there will be tons of booths from the good folks at 1-800-Got-Junk to the Vermont Green Building Network, but the really cool thing are the free workshops available.
This year there will be many that focus on home energy efficiency and green building. Most notable are the following:

As fuel prices continue to rise, we are once again looking for ways to save fuel and make our homes more energy efficient. We have learned, over the years, that this is not as simple as replacing windows or throwing more insulation in the attic.
There are, however, effective measures many of which you can do yourself.
Join BPI certified contractor, Tom Perry, as he explains the heat-loss dynamics in your home, what things you can do to improve it, and when it makes sense to hire an experienced professional.
