At last month’s Green Living Conference & Expo Debby Gomulka was a presenting sponsor and gave a speech at the luncheon about downtown Wilmington. She introduced the keynote speaker, Katharine Brass, a GE Executive who spoke about energy.
Debby also participated in the Cape Fear Green Building Association panel discussion with included builders and designers who have worked on award-winning remodeling projects. She presented tips on renovating your home in an eco-friendly way with local architect Jay DeChesere. The presentation (entitled Green Renovations) included a case study on her Williams House Project, which focused on historic preservation and sustainability, including restoration, reclamation and salvage of materials, refinishing techniques, low VOC finishes and fabrics, use of light reflection, and others.
Also featured in this presentation was CFGBA board member Jay DeChesere’s work on 3404 Talon Court in Wilmington, which is North Carolina’s first gut-renovation of an existing home under US Green Building Council’s LEED for Homes standards. It is also the first home in North Carolina following the dual path of LEED for Home and North Carolina’s HealthyBuilt Homes Program.
