Green Renovation Profiled on NPR

As part of their Earth Day coverage, NPR’s All Things Considered took a look at a LEED Platinum home renovation in Washington DC. Peter Yost from the green building resource BuildingGreen helped to explain some of the possibly unfamiliar green building terms and explained how the elements of this renovation contributed to its being one of the greenest homes in the country.
While building tours on the radio can’t show pictures, the NPR website has several accompanying pictures along with the story and an interactive kitchen tour with more information about the project.

I’m a retired real estate attorney of 20 years and now a Realtor/Owner/Broker. At first I thought that building green was just a fad, but there’s no question that technology has enabled us to build energy efficient, substantially improve the health components of our homes, and avoid polluting our environment to such extents. It’s great. Thanks for your post.
