Green Building Plans
Green Home Plans
If you have decided to renovate your home or build a home that is green and eco friendly, you will find out that there are many ways to go. It is recommended to make a list of what you would like your green home to have, before drafting up green home plans. Some popular eco friendly solutions are:
Water recycling – you can go all out and install a purifying water system that will use greywater (the water you shower and wash you hands and dishes with) for irrigation and flushing, or you can simply connect the sewage system so that these water will be used for flushing (In this case you don’t need to purify the water first)
Eco friendly materials – There are many recycled and sustainable materials which you can use for your green home plans: recycled glass for decorations and windows, bamboo for flooring and carpets made from plants are just a few examples.
Solar and wind energy – Changing your home power source and making green home plans that will use renewable energy sources, is one of the best ways your house can go green in. Solar panels can generate the majority of electricity that your house needs, and save you a lot of money once you return the initial investment with lower electricity bills.
Appliances – With a new home usually come many new appliances. Going with energy star appliances means that the same appliances will consume less electricity, so plans for a green home should always have a list of “green appliances” which can be used.
Sky lights – Getting natural lighting whenever you can is one of the most prominent solutions in green home plans. Be sure to plan wisely so that the position of the sky light will be convenient and effective.
If you are looking to go green, a good idea is also to consult with professionals in the field that will let you in on the latest green trends.

How can we reduce our dependence on foreign oil?
Hillary’s plan to promote energy independence, address global warming, and transform our economy includes:
* A new cap-and-trade program that auctions 100 percent of permits alongside investments to move us on the path towards energy independence;
* An aggressive comprehensive energy efficiency agenda to reduce electricity consumption 20 percent from projected levels by 2020 by changing the way utilities do business, catalyzing a green building industry, enacting strict appliance efficiency standards, and phasing out incandescent light bulbs;
* A $50 billion Strategic Energy Fund, paid for in part by oil companies, to fund investments in alternative energy. The SEF will finance one-third of the $150 billon ten-year investment in a new energy future contained in this plan;
* Doubling of federal investment in basic energy research, including funding for an ARPA-E, a new research agency modeled on the successful Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
It’s good to hear some real alternatives.
