Pennsylvania residents will learn about energy conservation, renewable energy and green building benefits at a variety of upcoming community events in October--

· October 4: A Green Buildings Open House is being sponsored by the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association, with open houses in Lancaster County and the Lehigh Valley region;

· October 24: “Conservation is Survival” is the theme of the Energy Coordinating Agency’s annual Energy Services Conference in Philadelphia.

The Green Buildings Open House tours feature homeowners and building managers on-site to describe green building features and answer questions about energy efficiency, design techniques and affordability.

Highlights of the “Conservation is Survival” Energy Services Conference in Philadelphia include a discussion of the new statewide energy conservation programs for all homeowners, interactive demonstrations of energy audit equipment and a look at how the end of electricity rate caps will affect homeowners. The $30 fee includes breakfast.
