SILVER SPRING, MD — The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) and the City of Gaithersburg will host a series of free workshops for homeowners interested in building or renovating their properties using energy efficient and environmentally friendly techniques and materials.
“With heating costs predicted to rise to all-time highs this winter, homeowners can learn from experts how to take advantage of many small and a few large changes that can make a real difference in their comfort and their home heating bills,” said Derick P.
