Eco-friendly Home Renovations

Earth Day is coming up. In “Eco-friendly Home Renovations,” Eleazar Juarez-Diaz speaks with Amber Katz for The Seattle Times:

“MG2 Design’s materials manager Eleazar Juarez-Diaz says that caulking, weather stripping and making walls airtight will make a significant difference in energy conservation in the home.

“‘The key is to reduce air going in and out of the house as much as possible,’ Juarez-Diaz says. ‘This is a process that can begin in the construction of walls when selecting insulations. If your renovation doesn’t go that deep, you can still work toward a tight air barrier with tools like caulk gun, expanding foam, and aluminum flashing.'”
