Wednesday night, Oct. 8, you can find out all about green building, at this Save The Bay program at the Westerly Public Library. In Part II of their speakers series, Mindful Design: Progress and Nature in Harmony. Tom Weber, builder for South County Post and Beam, will be talking about the first LEED-rated house in Rhode Island. The house, which is under construction in Narragansett, is a candidate to achieve a GOLD rating under the United States Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED-H rating system. The residential project will become the first of its kind for Rhode Island, marking a significant step forward in rethinking residential design and construction. The resulting home will have significantly reduced energy consumption, increased indoor environmental air quality, and an overall diminished impact on the environment.

Be there, 7 to 8 pm, the event is free and open to all. For more info, contact Rebekah Kepple at STB, (401) 315-2709, Email: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Click here for a map to the library.
