I'd buy that software! Even better if it was a hosted web application that you could pay a monthly fee for based on the size of your company. That way your plan would always be available to link to or show to banks, investors, partners...

Thanks for the mention Jennifer. Sometimes it seems all we hear about regarding green innovations is coming from Cali, NYC or Chicago so I can see your original point. On the upside, PA has been making some great strides in the past few years and is headed in the right direction as your commenter points out.

LEED ratings for homes has been a bit controversial and I understand all viewpoints. It is however one of the only ways to currently prove that no corners were cut during construction and a clear indicator to the market of what your home is all about...

Our name, postgreen, alludes to the fact that we are trying to build homes and buildings the way we feel like they should (and hopefully will) after the current "green fad" is over. We try to put priorities like energy efficiency and indoor air quality at the top of our list and create a design that is easy to upgrade in the future with renewable energy systems. By focusing on these things rather than the "green" finish products or materials we feel like the homeowner gets the most bang for their "green" buck rather than a thin coat of greenwashing on the interior that they end up paying a premium for.

Re: Storage Resolution: Part 1

I've got the same GORM shelving in my open loft and love it. We stained them black with a low-VOC wood stain and they look quite nice against an open loft in our loft. They have quite the assortment of shelves and accessories that make them very versatile. We have everything from wine to coats to power tools stored on them.

Sorry for ranting. I just love these cheap, efficient storage solutions from ikea...

The beauty is in the simplicity. Lovely use of industrial materials. Limiting their finishes to mainly plywood and steel paid off very well.

Couple bike sharing with dis-allowing the most polluting vehicles from entering the city and/or charging vehicles that enter the city during biz hours and we're on to something...

$25 Mil to paint bridges. I can believe it. I was astonished at how slowly they painted the concrete barriers on the sides a few months ago on my daily commute to work in NJ. I swear a crew of about 10 made it about 20 feet per day.

Re: Conduit Fence

These are both great ideas. I love the rebar idea as it seems like it would hold up better long-term. The electrical conduit can be bent fairly easily which would be a concern in urban environments. I have been meaning to talk to some local metal workers about some affordable and modern fence ideas and this will certainly be added to the list of future possibilities. Thanks for the DIY links also.

Very clean work. I've been looking into ivy walls as an affordable option for a green wall but this is obviously the ultimate. I can't wait to see more widespread adoption!

Case in point. The notifications of a response to my comment is fantastic. I like the tiered discussion type thread we are able to create here also. Great find!

Great post. I was just trying to describe this concept to someone the other day and was doing a very poor job. This is the perfect description and source info. Thanks!

Re: Five Suggestions for Businesses Confronted with Green Fatigue and Green Noise

Chad Ludeman — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:22:56 -0000

Great post on an important topic for all businesses today. I could see this developed into a great e-book and maybe even full book in the near future. We are heading towards the peak of greenwashing in businesses now and could use more informed advice for businesses out there trying to figure out how to be green.

If I remember correctly, authoring a book is on your list of things to do. :)

Congrats guys! Preston, what you need next year to move up a couple notches is a nice black and white of you in the desert with a tank top and a cigarette hanging out of your mouth just like Mr Pitt. :)

Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the blog love Preston. Hopefully our submission goes through as it was pretty last minute. Either way the projects you've selected are good company to be in.

Great article. Now, if only the large homebuilders in the US would take notice and see that green aspects can be implemented in new construction even easier and for no additional cost if done intelligently.

I think I've unintentionally had the same rule for orange in every place I've lived to date.
