HELP FOR FIRE SURVIVORS

Rebuild Central is holding a three-part series of free workshops designed to help homeowners rebuild using energy-efficient and fire-resistant technologies, methods, and materials.

Rebuild Central is a one-stop, all-in-one resource for fire survivors looking for unbiased information about how to rebuild their homes and lives. Rebuild Central is a free, joint project of the California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE), United Green, San Diego Renewable Energy Society, and Architecture for Humanity.

The Greenprint Workshop Series will be held at CCSE’s central San Diego location. Visitors are encouraged to explore all the latest energy efficiency technologies, interactive displays, and resources that CCSE’s Energy Resource Center has to offer.

Browse through the vast array of books, periodicals, and DVDs in the Energy Resource Library, or borrow reading and data-logging instruments designed to measure performance and savings opportunities in the Tool Lending Library.
