Milwaukee/ NARI offers green remodel- ing courses to its members, enhancing their expertise on energy efficiency, indoor air quality, resource conservation, reusing and recycling products, and more. Here are some "go green" tips from Milwaukee/ NARI and its members: ■ Look for the WaterSense® label. Advanced technology in toilets, faucets and showerheads have made the low-flow differ- ence nearly imperceptible compared to those products from the 1990s. The Environ- mental Protection Agency has labeled prod- ucts that conserve water with the term WaterSense, which are independently certi- fied to use 20 percent less water and per- form as well or as better than standard models. If it's not time to replace faucets yet, consider using a WaterSense-labeled faucet aerator. ■ Check your indoor air quality. Being green (and healthy) also includes improv- ing the quality of air inside the home. There are many sources that contribute to IAQ, including pollutants brought in from the outside, toxic chemicals existing inside the home and the activities of the occu- pants that create pollutants. An energy air- exchange system can improve indoor air quality by pulling stale air and excess humidity out of the building and replacing it with fresh, filtered air without losing the heating or cooling level inside the struc- ture. An air exchanger also helps control moisture and reduces the opportunity for mold growth. ■ Avoid volatile organic compounds. To maintain indoor air quality, use low- or no- VOC paints, caulking, insulation, stains and varnishes, and drywall primers and sealers, to name a few. ■ Install programmable thermostats. To save energy and lower the utility bills, switch to a programmable thermostat for lowering the temperature at night and when the house is empty. Milwaukee/NARI members suggest keeping the temperature at 68 when people are home and turning it down to 60 when people are sleeping or at work.
