Here are a few tidbits from the past week that caught my eye.
> Just over the mountain from Taos to the east is Las Vegas, New Mexico. It is the home of NM Highlands University and lots of gorgeous Victorian architecture. It looks like Highlands is going green with a green roof on their new, contemporary student center. Bravo!
> There is a lot of confusion around solar power for the average person. By putting my solar home up for sale, I have found that, in general, people don’t understand it or know what questions to ask. If that sounds like you, here are a few myth-busters to help start you on your solar journey.
> Good old Yankee ingenuity in green building! Originally being a New Englander, I know how hard those folks work, how inventive, resourceful and creative they are, always finding a better, more efficient way. So I’m not surprised to read that Tedd Benson, a timber framing pioneer from Walpole, NH, has moved to super-insulated modular homes. He even has a passivhaus design!
> Green building is more than materials. Here is a home that is built with sensitivity to the landscape and utilizes plenty of natural light to keep electric bills low. I just wouldn’t want to drop a ball!
> I couldn’t have compiled a more engaging group of beautiful solar homes from around the world. Well done, 1BOG!
