Green Home Tour highlights the importance of environmental sensitivity

Envision Homes owner Robert Burns offered in depth knowledge about sustainable building techniques and products during the 2011 Green Home Tour presented by the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild April 16 and 17.

2011-04-16 - The 2011 Green Home Tour sponsored by the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild featured four West Seattle locations (among 28 across the region) and offered a chance for people to meet the builders and architects behind the projects that all showcased a variety of environmentally sensitive efforts.



Each stop on the tour presents such a volume of information it's clear that for those considering a more green remodel or new construction seeking qualified and experienced professionals in this burgeoning field is necessary. Not only to get the right advice but to be more aware of an aspect of the field called "Greenwashing" in which manufacturers and service providers attempt to portray themselves as more green than they genuinely are.

The EcoBuilding Guild, formed in 1993, is among the first in the nation to foster greater awareness of green building techniques and promote both greater use and more in depth public knowledge about them. {continued}
