The document discusses building green homes and the benefits of doing so. It provides information over four panels on: 1) The first steps towards building a green home focus on energy efficiency and reducing utility bills and improving occupant comfort. 2) Other green choices include conserving water, using smart materials, and incorporating renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. 3) Jobsite recycling can save time, money and resources by recycling materials like wood, metal, carpet and more. 4) The advantages of building green include lower monthly utility bills, lower maintenance costs, improved resale value, and benefits to the environment and community health.
