The Green Cross / Santa Monica & My Ivy Tower

Enviroment

Green Building Resource

Well…I did it > I went to Green Building Resource Center. I heard about them at ALT BUILD 2007, Tim from the EpiCenter invited me into their booth. Any-case that was back in May and now it is December well it feels like it is almost the end of the year. > To point> I had plenty of preconceived notions that I had created in my Ivy Tower of their Ivy Tower (definition I am using: intellectual isolation). At this point I should list my preconceived notions but I will not if you are interested send me a note. I spoke to a woman named Monica and we discussed issues that I thought only I thought about.

1) What is a green product>Action Shot of Showroom

2) Why higher priced items help attain LEED points>

I look forward visiting them again learning about the process in which they recommend for no charge to vendor or consumer what products can help the home owner or specifier.

We have been working on this project in Arizona for a couple of years now. This is one of the custom homes that appeared in AZCENTRAL.COM. The fence screen  in the background is made with our 16×16′s and the slide shows shows off our floor tile. This puppy is waiting for Mike.
