Homeowner Resources

As a homeowner, you can do much to improve your home's environmental performance, reduce the amount of building-related waste and toxins, and ensure a healthier environment for your family. Whether you plan to build your own house or undertake a large or small remodel project, we hope the information and resources provided in this section will help you make an informed choice.

The link to the Green Remodel section on the left takes you to Remodel Guides and information on energy efficiency, deconstruction and salvaged materials, green building materials, and home maintenance. Under the Homeowner Incentives you will find resources for finding incentives for using energy and water efficient and renewable energy technologies.
