Green Living

For todays assignment, I went out and photographed a new green home being developed in South Euclid near Cleveland.  This home has been redesigned and retrofitted with green, more energy efficient technology.  The designers of the home gave Shannon and I a tour of the home and explained its key features to us.  The house is currently finished and up for sale.  This house was redesigned through a city grant offered for redevelopment of foreclosed homes.  After this house sells, the project will continue to develop greener, more efficient homes for the Greater Cleveland area.

Pam Pierce, Green Advantage Trainer of LEED AP, explains the ventilation system in the Green 4182 Wilimington Rd. home on Thursday.  This new ventilation system is 95% better at heating and cooling the homes than traditional systems.

    The reporter (another intern) and I both agreed. What the hell were they thinking?

    Maybe it is "modern"

    could you have taken more control of the situation? I think if you stopped Pierce for a portrait, maybe lit with a strobe, you could have made something more interesting that her fuzzy gesture
