• weatherizing the building envelope (walls, doors, roof, etc.)
• wood window repair and restoration
• retrofitting for efficient heating systems
• tax credits and funding sources
• and more

The workshop will be held on the west side of Providence at The Providence Revolving Fund, 372 West Fountain Street, and includes sessions inside a beautiful Victorian home on Parade Street.
