	Using energy-efficient materials in constructing the exterior walls and in insulating the house...Sealed correctly
	Using skylights and windows as means of ventilation and cooling in the summer and heating in the winter
	Installing efficient heating and cooling units as well as efficient appliances.
	Using active or passive solar power as well as wind power to offset rising utility costs and to make the homeowner more energy self-sufficient
	Stains & Paints with low or zero VOCs
	Carpets made of corn blends & renewable polymers
	Plaster finished with beeswax for that final comforting glow
