What you can do.

Don't feel guilty. Being earth-friendly can be fun, and can save you alot of money.

Build your house using efficient materials like spray foam insulation, high-efficiency air conditioning and insulated windows and you will save money on your energy bills.

Buy a house plan that uses natural lighting, and maximizes your view of the outdoor world. Natural lighting is proven to reduce stress.

Wood is a renewable resource. It's also beautiful. What a combination. Using solid wood throughout your home as flooring, trim, cabinets and doors can reduce the amount of chemicals that your home gives off while you live in it.

What I do.

I work in a low energy consumption office which uses only 6.6 amps of electricity. Natural lighting is used exclusively.

My office is a paperless environment. All correspondance is by email. Faxes are received and sent digitally.

House plans are distributed digitally, and downloaded from DanTyree.com. I provide a $200 discount to clients who buy plans in DWG and PDF formats instead of traditional paper prints.

These things all save time, resources and money.
