This is only one of the many possibilities for Building Green here in Central Ohio. This neighborhood is in Licking Heights Schools - there are several more communities to choose from where you may build one of about 40 different plans.
The model home at Creekstone is the builder's newest and includes the Green features standard in all their homes.

green building: Better Air Quality in Your Home...One Meaning of GREEN - 09/21/08 03:15 PM
There's no doubt that you'll be hearing more and more about Green from now on...Green Living, Green Building, Going Green.  "Green" is a blanket term incorporating several practices that are aimed at making our environment healthier - from a more responsible, sustainable use of our natural resources and a reduction of waste, to a less toxic atmosphere both outdoors and in.
"Green" can directly impact our health as we reduce the pollution we come into contact with.  One method of doing this is improving the air inside those boxes we call homes.  Did you know that indoor air can be 4-5 times … (3 comments)

green building: Growing "Green Collar Jobs" in Ohio - 09/12/08 08:56 AM

When you hear about "Green" homes...are you thinking about something built out of straw? 
Do you think you're signing up to become a hippie if you build Green?  Will your deed restrictions require a home-grown garden of organic veggies?  Will there be somebody timing all your showers to make sure you save water?

...Relax. 
Green homes don't have to look any different from a "regular" home.  (It is true that in some areas, homes can be built with … (3 comments)

green building: Building GREEN in Columbus Ohio - 08/19/08 07:14 PM
I believe that "green" building practices are a true wave of the future.  Today I attended another class on green building to make sure that I'm keeping current on local initiatives and practices in the industry.  It was given by a builder in our area who is committed to building green at all of their price points.
Around ActiveRain I have said that I don't like to make predictions.  What I mean is that when something is essentially guesswork (such as when we'll begin seeing more of a seller's market...who knows?), I don't bother.  Some things, however, can be seen as clear trends.  … (0 comments)
