Home Performance Questions to Consider 1.How many of you know
what kind of gas mileage your house is getting? Do you live in a
hybrid or a gas guzzler? 2.How many of you know if you have enough
daily fresh air exchanges for you and your family? 3.How many of
you know if you have a faulty gas combustion appliance? 4.How many
of you are comfortable in your housedrafts in the winter, hot
room(s) in the summer or that troublesome bonus room over the
garage? 5.How many of you think your energy bill is too high?

VISION STATEMENT The SEED House is a state-of-the-art
residential cut- a-way concept to be built on the LISD CSF Campus.
This innovative and unique educational resource will embody proven
building science and energy efficient technologies highlighting new
construction, remodeling and energy retrofitting approaches
designed to promote comfort, healthy indoor air quality, safety,
energy conservation and energy efficiency.
Slide 9
The SEED House will accomplish this Vision in a manner that is
practical, affordable and easy to understand. By using documented
residential construction techniques, materials, and equipment, LISD
students will help our community fashion a sustainable future for
todays energy. STRATEGIES
