Eco-Housing, How to make housing more sustainable
Ideas for enhancing and Retrofiting Current Homes
Hello this is a website focused on environmentally friendly construction, and linking resources for home owners, builders and anyone just curious about new materials, ways to save energy or less environmentally taxing construction and design solutions to the problems facing housing today.
This is a reference site to a student thesis.
A little background, I am a student of housing as I studied Architecture at the U of M, and as a result of wasteful nature of what the architecture community was doing at that time I went a differnt direction. The moment I knew I did not want to be a architect was when a professor told me "building are disposible, you have to think it will be torn down in 15-20 years and parking lot may take it's place." That was my last class in architecture.
None the less I have always loved housing the it's potential. Well designed homes can create energy, food, and tread lightly on the earth, and be self-sustaining. I have worked in real estate for the past five years, and am a GREEN, CDPE, Realtor, and currently focus on residental and commercial solar energy or renewable energy in my work life.
