Doug Rye, renowned architect and energy consultant, will be conducting energy efficiency

North Central Electric first introduced the Arkansas architect to Cooperative members
in March 2006 when he made appearances in Tiffin and Willard. North Central
sponsors his weekly radio show, “Home Remedies” at 9 a.m. Saturdays on WBCO
(Bucyrus). Beginning this month, he will be a regular contributor to Country Living
magazine. The Cooperative also carries his DVD featuring energy savings tips for new
and existing homes.
NuWool cellulose insulation is helping co-sponsor the presentations.
Rye will speak at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 1 at Camden Falls, St. Rte. 231
and U.S. 224, Tiffin.
North Central members can attend any of the free presentations.
Seating is limited, so reservations are required. Reservations can be
made by emailing the North Central or by calling the Cooperative
at 1-800-426-3072 or 419-426-3072. If submitting your reservation by email, please include your name, address, which session you plan to attend (morning or evening) and how many will be coming.
Rye is a licensed architect and has been a
member of the American Institute of Architects 37
years. Rye speaks annually at American Institute of
Architects meetings to hundreds of other architects
on energy efficiency. He hosts the popular
“Home Remedies” radio talk program, which
has been on the air for 15 years in
14 states. He conducts more than
150 energy-saving seminars per
year across the U.S.
Rye has put together 31 principles for
energy efficiency. He will be discussing a
variety of energy subjects a homeowner
can apply if they are building or just
remodeling their home. He will discuss
construction techniques, heating and cooling
systems, water heaters and caulking. “When in doubt, caulk it”
is a frequent saying and, of course, “If you build a house with high
energy costs, it’s your own cotton-pickin’ fault.”
