Last year a group of contractors, while working together on a sustainable/green/resource-efficient residential project on Walnut Hill, started hanging out together to talk about sustainability, how to make their projects more sustainable, and how to support each other in those efforts. After months of once-a-week conversations, they decided to start a new group, the Dallas Green Building Alliance. Their mission is to be a resource for homeowners, Realtors, builders–anyone with an interest in learning more about building and remodeling in a sustainable way. Their brand-new website is absolutely loaded with information, technical and otherwise, on heating and air conditioning systems, low-VOC finishes, solar, projects, etc. Yes, they are looking for business, but they have definitely drunk the Kool-Aid and they are really committed to this. Check it out.
