From Guest Blogger Tina Samuels: Building More Green Apartments
Going green is a huge movement around the world.
As climate change becomes ever more apparent, people want to do their part to help the planet. Humans create a large eco-footprint with all of their activities.
Homes are one of the largest offenders, even though most people aren’t aware of just how much of an impact their living quarters have on the environment. This is one reason that green building is becoming more popular around the world. (more…)

An Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) is a lesser known service that can be a real help to homeowners looking to refinance or those buying a new home. It allows them to finance energy saving upgrades right into your mortgage. This is perfect for people who are interested in adding solar panels to their home, upgrading old windows and insulation, and exploring alternative heating solutions. If it will save you energy, it can most likely finance it through an EEM.
