Decarbonizing the Home You Have

How to build an efficient, healthy, low-carbon home is well understood — yet unfortunately still far from mainstream. But what about the majority of us who will never purchase a new home? In this seminar, Brian Just shares practical, budget-friendly steps his household has taken over the course of more than a decade to improve an existing home. From swapping lightbulbs to full electrification, each change reflects a commitment to health, comfort, local materials, and environmental impact. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas for making meaningful improvements to their own homes—no matter the starting point. This online presentation, hosted by the Vermont Green Building Network (VGBN), will conclude with a Q+A. 

The event will feature the following speaker:
