    I am preparing to renovate my 1990's home. My husband and I
    would like to remodel the kitchen, family room, master bedroom and
    master bathroom. We will also be removing the old deck and
    installing a new one with a screened in porch. Our home faces north
    leaving us with a south facing back very suitable for solar
    technologies. We have also investigated geothermal systems. Despite
    our education and interest in the environment, our heads are
    spinning. we absolutely need some expert advice on green
    remodeling. So we are appealing to your "Can this home be greened?"
    group for help. Thank you for considering us. Brooke and Nick
    Josties
