Simple and Green Building
ByΒ Leigha Dickens
Iβm a green building consultant for a company that builds unique round homes in Asheville, North Carolina.Β I work with customers from all over the US β customers who have all kinds of different dreams about what it means to build and live in a βgreenβ home. You might imagine that I am involved in many LEED-certified projects, that I work with an array of neat technologies like wind and solar power, geothermal heat pumps, and greywater recycling systems. I do get a lot of customers asking about these things, and not a small few of them go on to incorporate these efficient and forward-thinking building systems into their new homes.Β Iβm both an environmentalist and a nerd, so I love seeing all of these things coming into more widespread use.
