Chicago Green Bungalow Project

Four abandoned brick bungalows were rehabbed in the summer of 2002 to demonstrate a variety of energy efficiency strategies, green product use, and landscaping practices. A different strategy was used for each home based on the design theme and work scope. Two homes were “gut” rehabs, one was a moderate rehab, and the other one was an historic restoration. The homes were open for public tour after construction and prior to being purchased. Energy efficient measures and green products used will be discussed, as will the energy savings and additional costs.

By attending this session, participants will

1. Recognize the opportunity to blend energy efficient practices within a given rehab work scope

2. Learn about green products and landscaping practices suitable for urban sites

3. Hear results about the cost effectiveness of incorporating energy efficiency in building rehab
