Green Building Council Community Service Project

Members of the Green Building Council of Greater Columbia and other HBA Members are currently working on a community service project in Columbia. We're repairing a women's shelter home and adding as many cost-effective green features as possible. We have been taking photos and video of the process and plan to make a presentation on this project for the web in the near future. The goal is to show what can be done to the typical Columbia home to help use less energy and be more efficient.

Thanks to Pete Williams of A-Therm Remodelors for spearheading this project and to the many GBC and HBA members who are working together to get this project completed. Below is an article that ran in The State newspaper on March 27.

Again, keep an eye on this blog and our website (columbiagreenbuilders.com) for a presentation on this project.
