It is interesting that the construction of houses has remained largely unchanged over the years. In this group the purpose is to discuss some of the new techniques that are coming down the pipe.

No disrespect, but how can a 6000 sq ft home be considered "green?" Are there 12 people in the family?
I wish I was closer, then it would be worth having a booth.
I have more pictures folks of another GREEN home we are doing- it`s a 6000 sq ft home. The guys really like working in them this time of year, they are warm.

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I own Cedar Ridge Campground in Bloomington, Indiana. For the last 15 years I have been in the construction business. I was one of Indiana's first contractors to use poured concrete basement techinques.
I was intrigued to find this site because we are talking about getting into poured whole house construction. These houses offer a multitude of advantages. Not least of which is their excellant efficiency.

I would like to build a green home in the spring.
I plan to use concrete walls, ceilings and floors, with radiant heat, supplied by solar energy cells. The walls will be 12" thick, and very safe and efficient. This technique is a little more expensive to build than using lumber, but the energy savings offset the initial outlay for construction in a few years. Plus, we use far less trees, and obtain a better product that will last for generations.

What are your strong points in environmental awareness or curiousities? Is there a particular arena or field we could help empower you with? AGI has a staff that is able to offer full support and assistance in environmental work and issues, community and economic development, advertising, promotions, web design, and programming. Have a question or a request. Dont hesitate.
The idea here is to support you in helping to support communities and Indiana as a whole to make the change over to more sustainable practices and equilibrium.
Besides the resource based environmental arenas of: Land, Water, Air, Energy, Policy, and Advocacy. There are many other fields that are interconnected to sustainabiity and the green paradigm including recreation, health/wellness, agriculture, building and design, community development, economic development, products, arts, and humanities and many more.
You can share your awareness and activities in any of the above through many facets this site offers and more soon to come. Chat around, friend up like minded individuals, post, blog, make groups, are just some of the ways in which you may interact and utilize this site to tool your work and passions.
We are all in this together and together we can help make things better.
