      <image:title>GHC Blog - We Love Clean Air — And You Should Too - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This corner of our basement showcases a portable air-conditioner (left) that cools and filters the air while exhausting heat outside. Beside it, a Whirlpool purifier removes fine particles, and a Honeywell dehumidifier keeps humidity in check to discourage mold. In the mechanical room beyond, a new Broan self-balancing energy-recovery ventilator (ERV) continually exchanges and refreshes indoor air with the right amount of outdoor air. In short, sensing and ventilation technology can both detect when air is dirty and actively clean and condition it for a healthier home.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Renovate 1558 is a citizen’s group that was formed to advance the case for retrofitting the old library as opposed to tearing it down for a new one. They have opted for court action and their case is supported by the fact that the library, built in 1930, has recently been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. However, this designation may not prevent its demolition.</image:caption>

      <image:title>GHC Blog - Comparing Our Home’s Energy Use To An All-Electric Neighbor - The Home Energy Yardstick</image:title>
      <image:caption>After this meeting, I compared our home’s energy use with Mark and Rhona's. I utilized the EPA's Home Energy Yardstick, a tool designed to measure and compare household energy efficiency simply by entering the sum of a year’s worth of utility bills and a few basic questions about the home. Even leaving out the solar energy that my neighbor’s home gives back to the grid, it scored an impressive 94, which on the EPA's scale ranges from zero to a hundred. Our home, in stark contrast, lagged by 90 points on this 100-point scale. This revelation was difficult to digest.</image:caption>
