Green Building in Houston
As you might know, my 3D Architectural rendering business works with all kind of builders. I've been watching Green Mode Designs for awhile and they've got some great info on building 'Green' - on a local level and worldwide. Posts like this can transform areas like in Paris (due to their abundant use of smoking - cough! cough!). And, they practice what they preach by builing 'Green Buildings' around the downtown Houston area. For example, take a look at what they recently did for their current project City on Ridgewood. By dimming lightbulbs, for example, you not only decrease your energy consumption by 40%, but you also increase the life of the light 20 times.
Oh, and if you're looking for a home in the downtown Houston loop, check them out. They're new, they're modern, and they've got a killer view of downtown.
