Smart Home: Green + Wired '09 August 31, 2009

Mayor Richard M. Daley and over 100,000 other people dropped by the "home" in 2008. If you weren't among them, or even if you were, get ready for an even greener Smart Home in 2009! The real, three-story modular and sustainable "green" home in the Museum's own backyard reopens its doors. Learn about the new ways, big and small, that you can make eco-friendly living a part of your life. What makes the Smart Home green? Is it the elegant tile made from old glass bottles? Or the cutting-edge solar film that pulls the power of the sun--even from a grey sky? Or outdoor decks made from used plastic bags? Visit the Smart Home: Green + Wired exhibit and discover why living green is living smart.
