[RP TownTalk] Fwd: PLEASE POST–NPI Historic Windows–March 18-19–Greenbelt, MD

[Aaron Marcavitch]

FYI - if you have an older home and would like to repair your windows for cheaper than new ones and get similar energy efficiency - this might be for you. (I dare you to find a window with a 80 year warranty). 

It will be technical - not really beginner stuff - so look closely and call NPI before registering.

Explore the maintenance and rehabilitation techniques that allow windows to have long and sustainable service lives. Review energy conservation and economic issues as factors facing managers in the restore-or-replace debate and regulations relating to preservation of these assets.
