Early fall looks to be the preferred time of year for great green building events. Here in the Bay Area, we're gearing up for West Coast Green (San Francisco, Sept. 20-22) and Dwell on Design (San Francisco, Sept. 13-15).
However, there is quite a bit of green building activity taking place across the country in the next couple months.
With speakers ranging from Bill Clinton to Michelle Kaufmann and forums covering everything from feng shui and sustainability to indoor air quality to green roofs, all of these events sound like they're worth the price of admission and then some.
Here's a taste of a few events (not in the Bay Area):
- International Conscious Design Conference & Expo (New Jersey, Sept 27-30)
- Green Build (Chicago, Nov. 7-9)
- Greening Affordable Housing Workshop (Denver, Nov. 13-14)

Eco-community
We are currently in the process of developing a small 8 lot Eco-Community adjacent to Fuller Brook in Kittery, Maine. Each home will be created as a partnership with the new homeowner allowing for their own choice in style, layout and finish while utilizing Green building materials for these small finely crafted homes. We have chosen to work in Partnership with nature using the best of knowledge and technology to create warm, comfortable, energy efficient homes that will require low maintenance and have a minimal impact on the Natural Resources of the area. Each homeowner will have the flexibility to choose their own size and floor plan. Some may choose Bamboo flooring, some may opt for polished concrete or tile to optimize the Solar heat sink.
We can provide Construction assistance or you can provide your own contractors. Our goal is to work with each homeowner to achieve the best possible situation for all.
Please contact us with your questions! When you are ready to gather more information and walk out thru the land, we will arrange for a personal tour of the property.
