The Healthy Home Clinic is a seminar on unhealthy conditions that are typically found in homes built before 2000 and how to address these issues in the context of a green remodel or energy upgrade. This seminar will focus on the most cost effective ways to both increase energy efficiency and indoor air quality with an eye on available rebates that can help to offset costs.
