New Work Group - LCD for Condos/Apartments Print E-mail

The Chicago Low Carbon Diet organization is forming a new work group team: Low Carbon Diet for Condo and Apartment Dwellers.  The Household System Actions in the Low Carbon Diet book tend to be targeted at single family homeowners, rather then condo and apartment residents.  The work group will develop add-on guidelines to assist condo/appartment dwellers to be smart consumers and to be proactive in reducing the carbon footprint of their building systems. 

We'll develop additional guidelines for the following Low Carbon Diet actions:

11. Making Your Water Heater Efficient
12. Efficient Lights 
13. Sealing Air Leaks
14. Furnace Efficiencies
15. Sustainable Energy Household (insullation, windows, refrigerator)
16. Green Power

To assist with this effort, please contact:
