Design Resource CenterThe Design Resource Center has been created to help builders, remodelers, architects, interior designers and homeowners see how sustainability can be implemented throughout a house. Each measure is fully described, with information on the measure's application, benefits, and challenges so that the professional or homeowner can gain a non-biased view on implementation. If you enjoy our Design Resource Center, check out our sponsors page to see where you may buy certain sustainable, healthier, or more energy efficient products.
