Big and Small Green Building
Over the past few weeks, I read about two very different approaches to green building.
The first type of green building are the green "McMansions", if you will. They triggered stark disapproval by an eco-terrorism group - who claim that the 4000 sf homes are oxymoronic to green building. Obviously, a larger home will require more initial building materials and ongoing resources for maintenance.
The other - more innovative and noteworthy - type I read about occurs in Luling, TX, where they really do use fewer natural resources. These tiny homes are only 200 sf to start!
Do you all think there is a limit to square footage for a green home?
