Half of the graphic completed! Now to upgrade one side to be completely over the top green! I'm going to change the windows and door, add some solar panels to the roof, any other suggestions?
Hey Morgan, I found this reference for a book the sounds like it might be useful for you! Barnett, Dianna Lopez with William D. Browning. A Primer on Sustainable Building. Snowmass, CO: RockyMountain Institute, 1995 (update due 2004). Provides an overview for architects, builders, developers, students and others interested in environmentally responsive home building and small commercial development. Topics include: site and habitat restoration, transportation integration, food producing landscapes, energy efficient design, materials selection, indoor air quality, cost implications and more.
By the ways your blog looks great! Keep up the good work :)
