In many North American cities, much old stock housing is undergoing renovation. What materials should be used in the reconstruction and renovation and how is residential space to be designed for energy conservation? The multidisciplinary Eco-design Resource Group will explore these issues and put their findings into practice both at the Urban Ecology Center where they are based and through recommendations to the housing cooperatives with which they are associated. Exhibits at the Center and information disseminated via a community newspaper and homepage will showcase environmentally friendly products and materials, eco-interiors and furnishings, alternative heating and lighting practices, solar design, composting at home, etc.
