Green Girl and Toxic Tammy look at the bare truth behind the serious side of "Green Washing". My husband, Steve Sadler and I lost our home during Tropical Storm Fay on 8/22/08. We deconstructed the house and rebuilt on steel stilts - so we won't ever flood again. And more importantly we rebuilt totally green and documented the entire process of video and hundreds of photographs! The Documentary - JUST RELEASED -follows the entire process AND has 25+ Energy tips to save you $100s - $1,000s of dollars, PLUS has 100s of hours of downloadable research. The home is scheduled to be the 1st Platinum LEED home in NE FLorida; is the 1st Gold WaterStar home in Duval County; and with a HERS index of 18 it's the MOST energy efficient home in NE Florida (Jacksonville). Green Girl and Toxic Tammy look at the bare truth behind the serious side of "Green Washing". A hilarious look at the bare truth behind the serious side of "Green Washing". Louise Burfitt-Dons asks, can our heating cities cope with flash floods? These are some of the pictures I took of Vogel Canyon. On the way out of the canyon I saw the antelopes in a cow pasture. The buck was keeping a close watch on me and for any bulls that might come along. This is a video of the San Isabel Forest in Colorado. I also caught some big horn rams on the side of a hill.

Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts has recently completed a Climate Action Plan as the school’s road map to carbon neutrality. The plan aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from campus operations to 50 percent below 2008 levels by 2015, and 100 percent by 2030. Since July First of last year, Bentley has saved 1.5 million kilowatt hours of electricity compared to the previous year at this time.

Are you interested in putting solar PV on your roof? Are solar incentives still not enough? Consider hosting a utility owned solar PV system and the Energy Credit Card. Its a patented process allowing utilities to hyper-accelerate the deployment of solar PV while encouraging energy efficiency retrofits. We are developing the patented Energy Credit Card payment system. It is a regular credit card that will have credits loaded into the cards bank account by the local electric utility that will be proportional to the electricity generated by the utility-owned solar PV system on the building owners rooftop. It is also a discount card, with local retailers offering discounts for energy related goods and services. Its a substitute for cash that will allow electric utilities to compensate building owners for using their roof space while at the same time encouraging building owners to make energy efficiency improvements. The Energy Credit Card will be widely accepted in todays marketplace, and it will promote energy efficiency more effectively than current utility programs. We invite all of you to visit www.energycreditcard.com to learn more.

Green Building Insurance
Green Building Insurance
Description:
Green Building and becoming LEED Certified are areas of tremendous growth throughout the United States and the world. As with other growth, Insurance companies have been reactive and slow to respond to the needs of green building owners, green building developers, and green design professionals.
Having adequate green insurance with proper replacement value is critical in limiting green insurance exposure. It is very important that your insurance agent have knowledge of green insurance. Green buildings have special qualities which often require green coverage enhancements not included on standard insurance policies. Green insurance issues include the costs of alternative water and energy systems, business interruption, the cost of building commissioning, costs associated with green certification after reconstruction.
Much of the risk associated with green building comes from the design services, including guarantees and warranties of LEED certification.
What is LEED certification?
In the United States and in a number of other countries around the world, LEED certification is the recognized standard for measuring building sustainability. Achieving LEED certification is the best way for you to demonstrate that your building project is truly "green."
The LEED green building rating system, developed and administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, a Washington D.C.-based, nonprofit coalition of building industry leaders is designed to promote design and construction practices that increase profitability while reducing the negative environmental impacts of buildings and improving occupant health and well-being.
What are the benefits of LEED certification?
LEED certification, which includes a rigorous third-party commissioning process, offers compelling proof to you, your clients, your peers and the public at large that you've achieved your environmental goals and your building is performing as designed. Getting certified allows you take advantage of a growing number of state and local government incentives, and can help boost press interest in your project.
The LEED rating system offers four certification levels for new construction -- Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum, that correspond to the number of credits accrued in five green design categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources and indoor environmental quality. LEED standards cover new commercial construction and major renovation projects, interiors projects and existing building operations. Standards are under development to cover commercial "core & shell" construction, new home construction and neighborhood developments.
