I always try to keep you all posted on events coming up around town and this one is coming up real soon!  For those of you that have missed it in the past – Green Houses – the course that is taught by Michael Strong and Brent Nyquist at the Glasscock School of Continuing Studies at Rice University is about to start again!  I personally took this course early in 2008 and found it to be fantastic.  Michael and Brent do a fantastic job breaking down section by section what a Greener Home is all about.

Whether you are building or remodeling your home – I suggest you attend.  Personally, I recommend the class to the following people:

• Builders/Remodelers
• Marketing Professionals in the Green World
• Homeowners
• Potential Homeowners
• Anyone considering building Green
• Professionals wanting to dip their feet in to Green Jobs
• Green Professionals wanting to network maybe?

Here is a snipit from the course description:

Topics will include the following:

• Design and performance analysis of attics and crawlspaces
• Evaluating cost and benefit in construction materials and methods
• Making sustainability an affordable option
• New and promising technologies for your home
• Incorporating healthy living into your building project
• Making an old house green
• Green manufacturers, programs and associations

If you sign up, let me know!
