We recently reported on the Homerama 2007 site in Montgomery is adding a new residence that is being constructed to meet the LEED “silver certified” requirements set by The U.S. Green Building Council.

While this new concept home in Montgomery is unique, many people are not looking to build a new home right now, but are curious about what measures they can take in their current home to make it more eco-friendly or “green”.
