Want Twice as Much? Our All electric, solar shingle home produces twice s much energy as we consume!
Interested in saving energy, building a new home or remodeling an existing home? Joe Deden, founding director of Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center, and his wife Mary Bell have reduced their energy costs in remodeling their previous home by 78%! They then took what they learned and designed and built an all electric home complete with solar shingles, a backup battery, and an air to water heat pump. Their home has been featured in Root River Currents, an online newsletter (https://rootrivercurrent.org/). Other conservation measures include short grass, prairie pollinator prairies, a large rain garden and water conservation raised bed, wicking bed gardens. They have a wealth of anecdotal stories about getting all these high tech systems to work together.
Whether you want to build new or remodel your home, they have useful and helpful information that you will find informative! They will offer a tour of their home later this summer/fall for those who attend and want to know more!
