Green Building Elements has a few more interesting and useful websites added to its blogroll for you to check out for more information about green building and design. If you have come across a particularly useful or interesting site with a strong emphasis on green building and sustainable design, drop us a note about it at the address on our contacts and info page and let us know about it.
Here are some quick reviews of some sites you may want to take a look at, too.
Re-Nest covers much of the same ground that GBE does, and is another good source on sustainable design and green building. It includes a number of home tours of various green residential projects, just like its parent, Apartment Therapy.
We also now have a separate LEED category, with two new entries. Real Life LEED is a new blog started very recently by a researcher at an architectural firm who is writing about the LEED process from the administrative and paperwork side of it, rather than from the design standpoint. It looks like this will be a very useful resource for professionals who are actually doing LEED-registered projects.
There is also LEED Pro, a blog organized according to the categories and credits in the LEED system (specifically LEED 2.2 for New Construction) with materials and resources information pertinent to those areas. It’s also a good resource to find out about new products and materials that are being introduced.
There’s also a link specifically to Treehugger’s Design and Architecture section. Treehugger is a huge resource, but it’s nice to be able to narrow things down to more specific topics.
And, don’t forget, GBE’s parent organization, the Green Options Network, has more than a dozen other blogs on topics ranging from transportation and clean technology to food and green parenting and more.
