Excellent "Green" Building Forum - Treehugger.com

Informative International "Green" Building Product Forum Website

Quick blog post about a website I stumbled across while I was doing my own product research on spray foam insulation.  As Energy Saving Specialist, we like to see what other hot climates like South Carolina and North Carolina are doing to save homeowners on utility bills.  Retro-Solutions strives to be at the top of the curve when it comes to Energy Saving Home Improvement Products, and product knowledge in the fields of roofing, insulation, moisture control, solar energy, and more.  Trade Shows, Social Networking, Sales People, and informative blogs like Treehugger.com's is how professional Energy Saving Home Improvement esperts stay informed on breaking news in the "Green" Building Product Industry.  If your reading this blog, and not in North Carolina, South Carolina, or Georgia, then you probably already know how hard it is to get good informative product information on "Green" Building Products fairly new to the market.  The main point of our blog, and Treehugger.com's blog is to promote the "Green" Building industry.  Retro-Solutions Construction is trying to sell a service, but we hope our information on green building products can reach people around the globe. 

Although some "Green" Building Products are still relatively high in cost, compared to traditional home improvement products, rising energy prices, and a slumping housing market; homeowners are investing more into their homes as long term investments again.  Our client base see's better benefits from spray foam insulation, wall foam insulation, & crawl space encapsulations, then where the author of this blog is from; so he was able to use a cheaper "green" alternative to spray foam insulation and still double r-value to traditional fiberglass insulation.  Humidity is the big factor in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida; and foam insulation is the only "green" building product to offer the air barrier to prevent moisutre build up in attics & crawl spaces. Mountain climates in our coverage areas do have a wider variety of options to choose from, so please read this blog for some great information on "green" building products. 

This is the site we decided to try a blog with, and our blog has been very successful in promoting "green" energy products.  If you ever decide to get spray foam insulation, or any other foam insulation product, you will understand why our blog, and Treehugger.com's blog promotes "green" building alternatives for the homeowner.  Another great thing about this blog, is that there is a lot of discussion about the use of "green" building products in Historic Home Renovation projects.  We hope that our blog post get more informative as we get better at writing blogs, but if your still on the fence about "green" building products, we recommend you keep reading a little more.  I believe TreeHugger.com is the most informative free website on the internet when it comes to reviews on green building products. So make sure to check them out.
