This year, the Salt Lake Home Show welcomes Kevin O'Connor of PBS's 'This Old House', and he joined Budah live on The PLACE.

O'Connor got his start while renovating his first home when he encountered a few problems and asked for help from 'The Old House' experts.  Months after his guest appearance he was offered a hosting position on the show.  He quickly made the transition from financial expert to Emmy Award-nominated TV host.

O'Connor will share the latest renovation tips when he takes to the Design Stage on Friday, January 7 at 7pm and Saturday, January 12 at 10 am and 12 pm.

On The PLACE O'Connor talked about the latest in sustainability, technology and building practices to create a net-zero home... that was a recent undertaking by PBS's team.

They kept the architectural charm of an island cottage while introducing game-changing technology to make the home net-zero.  The home's energy-saving and energy-producing technology include:

  • Photovoltaic solar panals
  • Heat-recovery HVAC system
  • Layers of insulation
  • Energy Star appliances
  • Triple-glazed argon-filled windows
  • LED lighting
