Green Home Designer and Builder
Dear Green Building Enthusiast,
Everybody talks Green ... but who really does it.
Thanks for being interested! I've always loved
the idea of building super efficient homes that fit in their
environment. These days whether you believe in global
warming or not (I do) our country is faced with fighting
for more and more of a smaller and smaller piece of the
energy pie. Did you know the United States - with
about 5% of the world's population - uses about 25% of all
the energy! And guess whose energy requirements doubled
from 10 to 20% of that pie? Chindia (that's China
& India). Think about that ... it's a phenomenal
global shift that will affect our lives dramatically.
Our buildings use almost half of all our energy!!!
It doesn't take Einstein to figure out it's time to make
some changes. The USA is way behind Germany, Japan
and even China in our Green Building.
But it's not so easy! We can't even
figure out how to stop using incandescent bulbs much less
make our homes Green !
Here's what's wrong:
- Our homes keep getting bigger and bigger and
less efficient
- Construction is done in cheaper methods with
shorter life spans
- Sloppier craftsmanship
- Wasteful material usage and poor recycling practices
- Not using Solar Systems like we should
- Wasting gallons of water unnecessarily
Here's what we need to do:
- Build homes that work for how we live
- Build Net Zero Homes - that require little or
no non renewable energy
- Install more Solar Systems
- Design for today - not 200 years ago!
- Remodel our existing homes to make them 50%
more efficient
Here's why it never happens:
- Too complicated to figure out Green Building
- Costs too much! Not true!
- Too hard to build a house - no money and no
time for the extra stuff
- Don't care
- I'll pay the bills
Luckily, there's
a solution !
