In Part 1, I gave an overview of the philosophy, paradigm or ethos involved in "Green Building" and explained some of the Core Principles or Basics behind "Going Green."
This is NOT what we mean by "Going Green" by the way - LOL
This is NOT what we mean by "Going Green" by the way - LOL
Nor does "Going Green" mean that you are either ill or sick, or sick with envy - LOL
Now here in Part 2, are some specific "Ecologically Sustainable Solutions" or components to achieve the end of "Going Green" or having a "Green Building" residence (or retail, commercial, industrial structure). This list is not all inclusive as new technologies and materials are constantly emerging and evolving.
