Going green

I think one of the biggest problems that inventors of “green” or environmentally more responsible products face is getting builders to use their products. I might be wrong, but it seems that this is often the case. Usually such products are not as easily obtained and often cost more than what is nationally available for construction.

According to this recent article from the NAHB though, half of new homes are expected to be built using green products by 2010. This is good news and i hope the trends continue in that direction. Green products are not as available as I wish they were in our area, I rarely see people using these types of products.

I'm Ann and as everyone who know me will tell you... I am obsessed by all things related to house plans, home design, and home building / remodeling. Having spent too many years writing, reviewing and editing on subjects related to the house and home for more "traditional" media, I decided to join the blogosphere with this site. Over my career, I have devoted countless hours on such subjects as residential architecture, house plans, home design, interior decorating, home construction and home remodeling. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening and genealogy-related research.
