<div dir="ltr">Dear all: Now, more than ever, it is important to promote sustainability
 initiatives in NYC! Please attend the Sierra Club event on Passive 
House on Wednesday, December 14 at 7:00 p.m. Buildings that are 
constructed or retrofitted to meet Passive House standards can save up 
to 80 to 90% of the energy required for heating and cooling. The 26 
story Passive House residential building on the Cornell-Technion campus 
will be the largest in the world. Please also circulate this 
announcement. Thank you. Lisa DiCaprio<br><br><br> <strong>SIERRA CLUB SUSTAINABILITY SERIES  <br>                             Moderated by Bonnie Webber<span style="font-size:medium"><br>                  <br>             WEDNESDAY DECEMBER14, 7:00 P.M. <br><br>             PASSIVE HOUSE/BUILDINGS ARE                                              </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:medium"><strong><span style="font-size:medium">HAPPENING IN NYC </span></strong>                          <wbr>     </span></strong><p style="margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center"><b>Speakers:</b></p><p style="margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center"><strong>    Deborah Moelis - AIA, Handel Architects, Certified Passive House Designer-26 Story Passive High Rise</strong>  <br></p><p style="margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center"><strong>                Ray Sage - Contractor, Beekeeper-Developer of Passive 3-Family in Brooklyn</strong><strong></strong>  <strong><br></strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center"><strong>   Buck Moorhead - AIA, Principal, Buck Moorhead Architect,  Certified Passive House Designer <br></strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center"><br><strong></strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center"><strong>Doors open at 6:30 P.M. for refreshments</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center"><strong>  The program begins at 7:00 p.m. <br></strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center"><br><b>PLACE: Seafarers & International House<br>123 East 15th Street in Manhattan</b></p><p style="margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center"><b>Subways: Union Square, 4/5/6/and N/L/Q/R</b></p><p style="margin-bottom:1em;text-align:center"><b>$6 suggested donation, $3 for students</b></p><b><br clear="all"></b><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dr. Lisa DiCaprio<br>Associate Director of Curriculum<br>Clinical Associate Professor of Social Sciences<br><span>NYU School of Professional Studies</span><br>Paul McGhee Division<br>7 East 12th Street, Room 623G<br>New York, NY 10003<br>(212) 998-7118</div></div></div>
