The invisible science of homes - Cedar CoHousing

THE INVISIBLE SCIENCE OF HOMES! + COHOUSING SITE SEARCH!! Saturday July 20. 2019
KEVIN BRAUER of Home Performance Strategies Speaks How building or remodeling for comfort can make a home more durable, resilient and energy efficient.
Find out some of the what’s, why’s and if-you-don’t of home construction. Kevin Brauer has worked on homes for over 20 years.
A home energy assessor with a carpentry background, Kevin translates building science into comfortable homes for metro area builders and homeowners.
Following Mr. Brauer’s presentation, the Bassett Creek Cohousing group will show two videos about cohousing:
TEDTalk, Grace Kim: How cohousing can make us happier (and live longer)
PBS Newshour: Cohousing communities help prevent social isolation. Visit two cohousing communities: the first in Denmark (and in fact the first one established anywhere) and the second in Massachusetts.
The report focuses on how the mix of ages helps to reduce social isolation
The Bassett Creek group will then share their vision of building the first maximum energy-efficient cohousing community in the Twin Cities. 160+ cohousing communities are operating in the U.S. They will give an overview of cohousing and discuss their site search plan for this summer.
Cohousing builds personal connections and community.
But finding a site is the critical step in getting it “grounded”.
Learn all about how you can join the hunt to build a uniquely personal neighborhood!
PLEASE JOIN US AT 11AM FOR LIVELY DISCUSSION!
