Paint these bungalows 'green'

The city's Bungalow Expo will have a green flavor this year, providing attendees with guides created by Chicago's Department of Environment that offer money-saving tips and energy-efficient rehab projects.

Free on-site certification by the Historic Chicago Bungalow Association also will be available at the Oct. 27 expo for bungalow owners who bring photos of the front and rear of their homes, proof of address and real estate tax I.D. number.

Association certification qualifies owners for a number of city-sponsored incentive programs, including energy-saver grants and tax credits.


In addition, the expo will feature more than a dozen how-to seminars with home-renovation and green-building pros.

The Historic Chicago Bungalow and Green Home Expo, held at Merchandise Mart, 222 Merchandise Mart Plaza, is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
