This afternoon, I attended a work shop on high performance homes! You can check it out at http://eeba.org/calendar/index.asp - I highly recommend you attend if you are in a market where this is available! The instructor talked about the definition of "green" homes, and it definitely clarified for me what constitutes "green". There are a lot of definitions, but really, they all come down to these 5 things:
- Efficient use of land and water resources
- Efficient use of energy
- Efficient use of Materials
- Durable Construction
- Healthy Indoor Environments
I will be writing a little more on each of these in the upcoming weeks - so please check back! As always, please feel free to comment with any questions or if you have anything to add.
