Reno–Green is our weekly column written by retired builder/contractor Cam Allen. With over 40 years of experience in the building trades, Cam is putting that experience to use by answering any and all questions our readers have about their renovation projects. Every week, we select one response to publish in the column, with an emphasis on improving a building’s energy efficiency and sustainability.
