Phillies Ryan Madson Greens Home

Phillies Pitcher Ryan Madson is making eco-friendly Philadelphia fans proud. He and his wife, Sarah, have decided to make their Wayne home greener.

They purchased the house in April and have hired Main Line’s Caledonia Renovations to green the property.

The Madson’s eco improvements include:
-Installing energy recovery ventilators
-Re-insulation for the home using soybean spray foam
– A geothermal heating and cooling system
-Energy-saving lighting

On September 25 Madson will receive an award for his efforts at the Manayunk EcoArts Festival. We thinks it’s well-deserved!
