Ecological Design

Me (Roberto Alonso) and James Hermann, or should I say Hermann and I learned a lot about what it means to have a green home. We looked at what makes a green home and what it might take to have one, or even a whole community of them. The reason we chose this topic is because, one we were running out of time, and two, we could see our school taking that path. What we learned is that these types of houses will take a lot of time to not only be approved for mass building, but to be approved by the public. The passive design of the house is everything and it could something as simple as the way your windows are angled. There would be a lot of sacrifices like money and time, but the payoff is well worth it.
