From the outside, you wouldn't know it only cost $14 Dollar per month to heat, cool and power Tom Bassett-Dilley's Oak Park Bungalow. The unassuming building retains all of its character and fits perfectly into the backdrop of his quiet South East Oak Park community. He shares how he decarbonized without moving out, over time in phases, and on a very practical budget. Tom also shares his journey and the experiences that influenced him as he grew into a leading architect designing energy efficient and PHIUS (passive house) homes.
