Sustainable Homes

Now there is prototype of a tree house that could revolutionize the home building process. This new green home is called the Fab Tree Hab and was created by three architects of out MIT.

In such a tough real estate market, eco-friendly and sustainable metal roofing can help sell homes by differentiating them from a neighborhood full of cookie cutter look-a-likes.  Metal roofing is attractive as well as energy-efficient, and most systems have lifetime warranties that are transferrable to the next owner.

As sustainability becomes more of a global trend in all business aspects, much attention is being paid to building with recycled materials. One of the most innovative technologies of the past half-decade that has recently become more popular is container housing. Container housing is the construction of buildings using shipping containers after their shelf life at sea has expired. While shipping containers have a life span of about 10 years at sea, the solid structural capacity gives them a minimum life span of 20 years in-building after they are taken off the ships.
