green homes sell


One segment of the market remains strong—energy-efficient homes built with green, nontoxic materials.
This article in living green online magazine by Richard Kujawski is very informative and includes several good, green websites. It's definitely worth reading.
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program is discussed near the end of the article. Last week I had the opportunity to complete the LEED for Homes Program Review Workshop hosted by the USGBC (United States Green Building Council) in Arlington, TX. This was only the 2nd national presentation of this workshop - the first was held in Houston.
