Green Building Trends

Molasky Corporate CenterThanks primarily to the efforts of our ECO All-Stars, I've increased my awareness of the importance of building homes that are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. To extend my knowledge of Green Building Trends even further, here are some additional sites I'm reading:

I'm also working on the EcoBroker® Certification which has provided some great information on renewable energy, sustainable design, and other eco-friendly topics.

If you have other favorite resources for green building, please list them in the comments. Together we can spread the word and Go Green in 2008!

John....  Thanks for pointing some of this stuff out. I really should start to focus on some of this myself. After joining one of janeanne's contests, I learned something about a HUD mortgage program that you really don't know or hear about. I should add this to my arsenal of mortgage programs. In any case, thanks for making me aware of this again.  Especially since this has become a growing topic...

Hi John...I became an EcoBroker® over a year ago. It has changed my career in Real-Estate. It is well worth the time spent and will put you on the map in your community for the "true Green Realtor"

Hey John,  I didn't know you were doing EcoBroker!?!  Awesome!  You will have to listen to the podcast that Mary sent me from the appraisal institute on the valuation of green building.  It's very enlightening.  Let me know if you want the link...

John - I earned my EcoBroker a year ago - it's amazing how many places we're now reading about it. So many types and styles of buildings are Green, it would be nice to do a feature on the variety.
