The Greened House Effect:
Saving the World From Energy Inefficiency in Homes

Jeff Wilson

  • Host, HGTV and DIY Network
  • Author, "The Greened House Effect"

In this talk, author Jeff Wilson will discuss Deep Energy Retrofits (DER) to homes, which not only slash energy bills by 50 percent or more, but can make homes more beautiful, comfortable, and healthier places to live. DERs offer a foundation for solutions to the wider problems of our economy, environment, and energy security. Wilson will tell the story of his family’s DER, gives tips for DERs in different climate regions, and make the case for DERs at a construction level.

His book, "The Greened House Effect," chronicles Wilson as he deep energy retrofits his 70-year-old home.
