With more and more electric customers looking to invest in energy efficiency around their homes, residential housing developers have taken notice and are educating themselves on the latest energy saving technologies and techniques.

But what if you want to go a bit further?
So you decided to spend the weekend doing a little spring cleaning and while straightening out your closet, stumble upon a shoebox filled with old photographs.
