The Super-Insulated Home Course
June 4-10, 2006 - Warren, Vt.

This class will explore various super-insulation strategies -- examining the 
pros and cons of each -- but will focus on the one the instructor has found to 
meet all the criteria for a sustainable and healthy building system. This 
system is the modified Larsen truss system using native lumber, cellulose 
insulation and passive solar design.
