Energy Works is a comprehensive energy solutions program for home and commercial or industrial building owners. Energy Works experts help owners find ways to reduce their building’s energy use, and Energy Works’ low-interest loans help them pay for the upgrade.
Energy Works is a program of the Metropolitan Caucus, a coalition of Commissioners and Council members from Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties and the Mayor of Philadelphia. It is supported by a grant from the US Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Program.
**with Night Kitchen goodies and Top of the Hill sandwiches too!

*Building with Strawbale*
*Building with Strawbale*
Sunday, September 11th
8:30 AM to 5:30 PM
cost: $80
Herbiary
Join green designer Sigi Koko to learn the art of strawbale building. Workshops are hands on so be prepared to learn, laugh, and get dirty!
During the workshops, we will be using rectangular bales of straw to in-fill around exterior walls of an existing structure, then plastering those strawbales with beautiful, durable clay plaster. All of the materials we will be using are local and completely non-toxic, and result in thick, super-insulating walls.
- Overview of strawbale construction, including recommendations for our climate
- Overview of clay plasters & how to test soil for clay content
- Demonstration of all construction methods
- Ample hands-on experience of all techniques
- Handouts on strawbale construction and clay plasters
