Connect the Dots is a project of the U. S. Green Building Council Southwest Virginia Chapter to advocate and educate our region about green building through a locally produced seminar series and subsequent website modules. The Connect the Dots seminar series launched at the Taubman Museum in Roanoke on August 1, 2009 with ‘A GreenPrint for Your Home’ and subsequent launch of the ‘www.greendotsbuild.org’ module of the Chapter website. Future Connect the Dots seminars will offer information about Schools, Businesses, Retail, Healthcare and more.

Facts

95% of our buildings are over 10 years old; while LEED and other programs do a lot to address new homes, improving performance for all buildings is important, higher value, higher performance, lower bills.

Strategies

  • Begin with a ‘Home Performance Analysis.’
  • Map your own path: state clear, measurable goals.
  • Engage qualified experts to advise you and carry out the work.
  • Measure post-improvement performance to track your progress.
  • Finally, engage a third party, certified energy rater.
