Residential Green Building, In Practice

From The New York Times:

"Green homebuilding is growing, but remains a largely uncharted and unregulated morass of guidelines, incentives, programs, products and philosophies that can frustrate even the most intrepid and environmentally aware homeowner. In the absence of federal mandates, it has evolved from the bottom up, with different groups and occasionally states providing overlapping direction."

The article, "The House That Green Built" takes an in-depth look at the complicated process of building a house (on budget) with the lowest environmental impact possible.
