Interactive Eco-friendly home/showroom - shows how a green home looks and works. If you know, you can act. www.alwaysbuildgreen.com
Idea Description
To build a model green home showing the public how easy it is to go green. Hold informational seminars to teach contractors/builders and home owners about the vast eco-friendly product lines available today. If the consumer understands that going green still means having choice and selection with out comprimising design, change will come. I will build turn-key green homes with the consumers input in product selection and show them the many incentive monies available and tax incentives for their area. Taking the mystery out of building green will move more to make the needed change. www.alwaysbuildgreen.com

this is already being done through Energy Star, but it is being done poorly. Every year each County has a "Parade of Homes" where home builders show off the latest and greatest in home design. Usually these are mulit-million dollar projects that include the newest technology and build design. This should be your market. Take Energy Star to the next level by building a solid brand and offering your own products. I wouldn't build an entire home or model home, but focus on products and consultation.
yes, I do hear what you are saying and we support ES, the home will be a working showroom. We have a 5000sf showroom now, but it would need some major configuration to make it look like a home showing off the many items available. It is not very exciting to see a product just on a shelf, people want to see it in action. Thanks so much for your comment!!
