In 1996, I incorporated Green-Haus with the intent of selling green building products online. Since I shortly thereafter decided that the online market was only looking for paint and water filters at that time, I then shifted my focus towards providing Sustainable Design Research and Consulting services. My goal is to further investigate and question the priniciples of Sustainable Design and educate everyone I can along the way.</description><pubDate>Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:44:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Archiopolis Architects LLC</title><link>http://www.green2013.com/Building_Construction/detail/link-83.html</link><description>Archiopolis Architects is a full service professional architecture firm established in 2005.

* We work toward the highest standards of professionalism, integrity and straight forward honesty. We do our best, most cost-effective work when our clients join us in meeting these expectations.
* Sustainable Design Consulting is a business that seeks to improve conventional building culture for everyone's benefit. We bring this passion into all our activities.
* For maximum benefit, sustainable design awareness must be fully integrated into every building design aspect and at every project phase. Treating the green building discussion as an &quot;extra,&quot; adds expense and decreases effectiveness.
* Sustainable design is not, by itself, magic! Indeed, it takes the kind of diligent, informed, thoughtful work in which we take pride.
* Sustainable design is not a separate discipline! All project disciplines are involved in and responsible for sustainable design project success.
* We give priority to clients who work closely with us, and to those who are ready to appreciate the many benefits of greener buildings.</description><pubDate>Tue, 10 Feb 2009 19:39:10 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Green and Traditional General Contracting</title><link>http://www.green2013.com/Building_Construction/detail/link-75.html</link><description>At Green Building Alternatives, LLC (GBA) our mission is to design and build affordable, environmentally friendly buildings, unsurpassed in quality and comfort.

We base our business on the principle that all people deserve and need quality design services. We believe that architecture is a part of our lives and impacts how we see and interact with the world. Our home should be an expression of who we are, as well as where we live and how we feel about the environment. Design should be not only beautiful but responsibly designed, merging Architecture+Ecology into a holistic approach called Ark-ology.
Keeping our business small and employing a CO-OP approach, we work on only a few projects at a time, preferring quality projects over quantity. This also allows us to focus our creativity and energy on you and your project. We are concerned about social and environmental issues in architecture, design and construction and we actively design with these issues in mind. We are building a reputation as one of the few firms in the area who design and build healthy and environmentally sensitive homes. We truly love architecture and are passionate about tailoring a home around each client's personality.</description><pubDate>Mon, 09 Feb 2009 14:31:54 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Black Architecture Limited</title><link>http://www.green2013.com/Building_Construction/detail/link-86.html</link><description>The group of talented individuals that make up Black all share the common aim to design and realise buildings that we are proud to say are ours.

The extensive damages are often enhanced by a man-made factor, namely, the over-dependence on wood frame construction materials and practices. It is now very practical to turn away from organic building materials and in so doing reduce the stress and demands on our nation's forests, while constructing superior quality homes and businesses.
At Castleblock we offer design, engineering, consultation, field supervision and training, supply, tools, accessories and the support needed to build better structures.... what we call &quot;buildings for the next century&quot;.</description><pubDate>Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:44:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>DwellGreen</title><link>http://www.green2013.com/Building_Construction/detail/link-73.html</link><description>A DwellGreen evaluation is an imperative first step when you are considering environmentally friendly home upgrades &#8211; whether you are interested in doing your part for the planet or if you just want to save money on your energy bills.
