About Us |
Welcome to Informed BuildingWe believe that over the next few decades the face of the building industry is going to dramatically change. Informed Building is a free resource where consumers can not just keep up with these changes but in fact help drive them in an energy efficient and green direction. As more products and techniques become available in the construction industry it is hard as a builder, contractor, owner, broker, investigator, investor or developer to have a good understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of different materials, techniques and processes. Our mission is to bring together information about these both from a technical and practical point of view. We are creating this for you and hope that you will find the content compelling and choose to be an active part of our community. We will do our best to bring to you all the information we can but strongly believe that the minds of the masses are greater than those of the few and strongly encourage you to add your own experiences to our discussions. Our team of contributors includes ENERGY STAR raters, LEED accredited professionals, custom home builders, architecture students and conscientious homeowners. If you have a question not answered by our site, please visit us in our forums where one of our team members can assist you. Please continue to visit and grow with us. |
