All participated in a lively discussion and an informative exchange of questions and answers.

After the event, BPC’s Mike Trolle said:

“It’s gratifying to see so many people looking at and considering building green, healthy and sustainable homes. When BPC started, over 20 years ago, most people didn’t know anything about green homes or all their benefits.

Today, many have a better understanding of why saving energy is important, how adopting sustainable practices can positively impact our world and the pressing need to deal with our current climate change crisis — all are contributing to the heightened interest and growth in building homes that are green, sustainable and healthy.”
