To help separate the real green products, professionals and procedures from all the “greenwashing” that is taking place. Welcome to an adventure that hopefully will change the way you think about HOME! To begin with green building requires thinking differently about what a house really is. All too often homes have been built by a group of strangers who don’t know each other and rarely communicate, using thousands of products and materials, with very little supervision to tie it all together. A green home on the other hand is designed with intention to function as a system, much as your car is a system of parts and pieces that work in concert with each other. If you change one part the whole system is affected. That is why green homes can save you so much money on energy bills and be so much healthier for your children. The thinking and design has been done with your family in mind.
