Free green design help
FreeGreen wants everyone to have the chance to create an environmentally conscious home. That’s why the company is giving away free downloads of complete residential design plans for ready-to-build green homes. Each home design is 30 to 50 percent more efficient than a standard code-built home. Revenue generated from working with green product vendors and charging sustainable builders and contractors to be included in a green directory has allowed the company to share more than 10,000 designs worldwide. The first FreeGreen homes are currently being built in Boston and Southern Africa. FreeGreen.com
