green construction materials Frequently Asked Questions
I want to build a enviro-friendly "green" house. Where can I find plans and costs for LEED and green homes?
I need architechtural plans and realistic way to cost out a "green" home less than or about 2000 or so sf.
Here is what I want:
-passive solar
-Depending on costs:
--gray water recycling
--under floor radient heating
--consider alternative construction like straw bale/rammed earth or modular
--recycled materials for insulation
--bamboo
--natural materials
--solar panels
--heat pump
I'd really like to do it right but I'm of moderate income and single middle aged woman.
I need it to be affordable. I'm in Alabama and few do this. I need to keep humidity and heat and climate in mind.
Under or around 2000 sf
Any info on financing for green homes would be welcome too;
This looks like a decent book to get you started. Probably available at your local book store. Also see the "customers also bought" list. These in turn will have more alternatives.

I presume you'll be using a builder. The best start might be to find a green home builder in your area and talk.
This link is about more extreme options. That's likely to be a difficult road to travel.

going green and building a tiny house?
I am interested in going as green as possible and building a house similar to the Tumbleweed Tiny Houses. I don't want to buy their set of plans when I want to make my own design. Are there any good websites, books etc on easy portable architecture? I'm really just interested in the materials I'll need and what-not, so it doesn't fall down.
I've never done construction by my grandfather was a master woodworker and architect, any I am pretty good at building things, it's in my blood.
So, where do I start?

Hope this helps.
