Building green is about sustainability and energy savings. It’s not about Mcmansions. Did you know that there is no national standard for what constitutes a “green” house? More than 16,000 projects are registered with the U.S. Green Building Council as intending to go for certification. Building is on the rise and everyone seems to be climbing on the band wagon. But it’s much more complicated than that. We keep building bigger and as long as we call it green, it’s supposed to be better. People do not understand that size does matter. The average new house is 2,500 square feet. How much fuel do you think it will take to heat and cool a house of that size?
