Some of the choice of materials isn't green, but what bothered me the most is the size of the house that was built as green. You can't build a castle and still call it green! The use of steal and concrete isn't green either. <br/>It wasn't all bad. There was some useful information so I gave it 2 stars. <br/> The ideas are great, however I wouldn’t put “green” in the title.

If you know little to nothing about green building and it’s possibilities… this is a perfect place to get the basics in a well organized start to finish process.
