Green Architecture |
|
|
My experience with "green architecture" began
back during the 1970's energy crisis, long
before it became a buzzword. I received an honor's
degree in Environmental Design from the University
of MN where I helped build a wind generator.
Throughout my career, I have developed expertise
in planning and installing:
I strongly believe one of the most important "green" principles I employ is to reduce the actual square footage of a house during the planning phase while keeping the design "feeling" open and sunny. My clients have documented that their heating and cooling costs are quite a bit less when compared to similar sized homes. One of my clients has created an interesting website describing the process of building a 'green' home. They call their home Greenhaven. |
