Hello to all,

I am interested in starting a green building world in New Mexico where such elements as strawbale, adobe and solar are used along with gray water systems.  What makes this unique is I want them to be warehouse studios with live-in apt. upstairs.  So one may live where they work making it possible for many artists and others to afford to have their own businesses as well.  I will also be generating income from rentals as well as studio use.  Very involved and detailed and something who`s time has come.  I am a hispanic female with a can`t fail plan.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  Thanks for the avenue to inform of my intent.  I will pay it forward. Gwen

Hello Gwennie!

 

That`s sounds like a great idea! Are you an architect or an engineer? Have you found companies to supply what you`ll need?

Please tell us more about this project and keep us posted on your progress!

Gwennie,

You may find some very useful information here:

And we have a new "Net-Zero" housing project underway in the Riverdale area of Edmonton.  Read about it here:

The Mother Earth News has done several articles on building projects related to this.  Google them and you should be able to find plenty of articles.

Also, the Rocky Mountain Institute has a lot of information regarding this.

Best of luck.  You`re doing a noble thing!
