Learn how you can participate in DC’s ambitious efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions citywide by embracing the use of solar energy. It’s easier than ever!
Steven Callcott, Deputy Director of the Historic Preservation Review Board, will discuss the HPRB’s recent reversal to allow for the installation of solar panels on the front facing roofs of homes in DC’s historic districts and, along with local architect Phil Eagleburger, will explain what this means for homeowners in Cleveland Park.
