A furnace-free home in frigid Northeast Ohio? It's not just a fantastic possibility, construction is already underway! So when do the rest of us get such futuristic homes? For some in northeast Ohio, green building is not a thing of the future, it’s happening how. We’ll hear how local enterprises are putting conservation practices to actual use in places as varied as a former Bedford brownfield to the bucolic campus of Oberlin College. Understanding and using the newest energy-saving technologies Tuesday morning at 9:00 on 90.3.
