Decker Homes in Toledo, Ohio did something this week I hope more builders will do around the world -- the company hosted a public service seminar on home energy efficiency. The seminar is just the latest example of the company's long term commitment to energy efficient home construction. In 2005, Decker Homes won Green Energy Ohio's Business of the Year Award. Among the many speakers at this week's event was Owens Corning Building Materials Technical Service Leader Tim Grether. He discussed how insulation, windows and heating, ventilation and air conditioning work together as a system to reduce energy use, and thus, energy costs. Grether also conducted an energy assessment of a "typical" Decker home. A Pink Paw Salute to Bill Decker Sr., for his continuing commitment to energy efficiency.
