Residential Green Building can be fun!
Couple describes building Green House!
Below are tid bits from the article –
“In addition, the house uses five Sunearth solar collectors to store the sun’s energy, a geothermal water furnace to provide cooling in summer and a backup heat source in winter, solar glass on the south and east sides of the house with overhangs to block the sun in the summer.”
“Banks do not like it,” he said. ” It doesn’t fit the standard, inefficient way of buildng. We’re so very far behind Europe.”
Great things can be achieved from a passion and its important to embrace these passions. If you have the desire to build a green home, do the research and contact experts (most of the time they will give you advice for free). It can be a rewarding experience and a life fulfillment (also a challenge for the relationship {they say if a couple can build a house together they can survive anything} which is always fun) that should be embraced. If you need tips, feel free to contact us or look to any of our links for advice.
There are some great reads out there as well. Your Green Home can be a great initial resource.
Good Luck!!!
