The eco-gallery is an overview of sustainable building techniques used in the building of our homes. The methods and materials help to create a healthy and better quality of life for all who live there. Among the obvious benefits of a toxin free atmosphere, these homes are so energy efficient that utility bills will be dramatically lower then comparable "non-green" homes....about 57% lower according to EarthCraft House. Not every home that calls itself "green" implements these building techniques, so educate yourself by reviewing the eco-gallery and know what goes into a truly healthy and sustainable home.
