Want to buy green power?

If you’re interested in global cooling (yes, cooling), a great place to start is your electricity provider. To find out if your state is one of 36 offering clean power, check out the U.S. Department of Energy’s Web site: www.eere.energy.gov/greenpower. If your power company doesn’t offer clean power alternatives, call them and ask why.

Best site for best practice

A packed-with-information Web site hosted by the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH) is www.toolbase.org. The site features case studies, design guides, construction methods, best practices, and a tremendous number of Web links.
