The Midwest Builders Show that took place in Rosemont, IL on March 12-13, 2008, presented educational demonstrations 3-4 times per day on designated stages positioned throughout the show floor. The How to Be Green NOW clinic, hosted by Mike Ostiguy, focused on the "best practices" for improving energy efficiency for building projects. I filmed a portion of Mr. Ostiguy's demonstration where he discussed ways to conserve electricity. In the second and third videos, Mike talks about fresh air ventiliation systems.
