Wrapping up – Greening The Existing Home

steph — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 15:57:06 +0000

Well, here it is. The final segment to Greening the Existing Home webinar series with myself and Michael Strong.

In this final video we talk about a ton of different items including – Does green REALLY raise your property value?

Other interesting things is Michael’s Top 10 List of what to do to your home to Green it up along with a short overview on the US Green Building Council ReGreen Guidelines for Remodeling and the National Association of Home Builders brand new Remodeling Program.

Both of these give you a tool to Remodel your home in a way that YOU know is Truly Greener.

Greening the Existing Home – Durability and Maintenance

steph — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 15:33:40 +0000

In continuation of the Greening the Existing Home webinar series with myself and Michael Strong, this particular segment is on Durability and Maintenance.

If you follow TurningHoustonGreen you know that one part of Green Building that I am personally the biggest fan of is just this – Low Maintenance Properties built with products that last a long time. After all, no one likes to incur the expense of changing siding or painting every other year, right?

Tune in and find out what you can to do an existing home to have less maintenance and the what and where of products in Houston, Tx.
