Johnson City – The Johnson City Area HBA will present the 41^st Annual Home and Garden Show, including a new Going Green exhibit area, February 20 – 21, 2010 at Freedom Hall Civic Center. 

The Johnson City Area Home Builders Annual Home & Garden Show is the place for you to find what’s new in building, remodeling, landscaping and anything related to your home and garden.  And an addition to the show in 2010 is “Going Green”, an aspect of the Show where you can learn what’s behind that nationwide buzzword “green”.  And, whether you are planning to build or retrofit your existing home, learn about the processes in place and products that make going “green” very affordable. 

FREE workshops are scheduled throughout the event Saturday, February 20 and Sunday, February 21.  Hear from experts on topics such as Low Impact Development, Energy Saving Devices, Site Evaluation and Preparation, Zero Energy Homes, Innovative HVAC Techniques and the “Shades of Green”. 

Jeff Christian, researcher in the Buildings Technology Center of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is the Keynote Speaker scheduled to be onstage at 12:00 pm Saturday, February 20, in the Workshop area.  He will cover “From Zero Energy Homes to Extreme Retrofit Makeovers”.  Mr. Christian will focus on what folks can do to retrofit their existing house.  He served as the energy consultant on two near zero energy homes that incorporated many green technologies.  The homes will be featured on the ABC show Extreme Makeover to be aired next Sunday, February 14, at 8:00 pm. 

How “green” do you want to build?  Certified Green Professionals will be available to talk with you about the process of going “green” – in terms you can understand.  Find out why going Green begins with the “how” of the building process and then incorporates the many products available.

Be sure to register to win an Energy Star Samsung 46” LED 1080p flat screen television – sponsored by Sears Commercial – Drawing will be held at end of show Sunday.  Do not have to be present to win.
