Careful planning and attention is essential to construct a true green home. And to the credit of many builders across the country, they're willfully accepting this responsibility to ensure their homes are built in an environmentally friendly manner. However, despite their best intentions, it's unfortunate that often times their well intended efforts are diminished by poor choices in interior design. With the assistance of EcoDecor Inc., these poor choices will not be replicated in the interior design of Green Builder® VISION House Orlando 2008.
The highly talented team of Bernadette V. Upton and Daniel R. Giordano, principles of EcoDecor, Inc., have joined VISION House Orlando to oversee the home's interior. Through Bernadette and Daniel's leadership, only earth friendly materials will be incorporated into the interior design. By using, for example, environmentally sensitive furnishings, fabrics, and wall coverings with natural dyes that are both beautiful and healthy to breath, EcoDecor is committed to sustaining the integrity of eco in decor for VISION House Orlando.
Bernadette Upton is a Florida licensed interior designer, lecturer, and consultant specializing in environmental interior design. She is a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), Past President of the Florida South Chapter, and a founding member of the national ASID Sustainable Design Council. Bernadette has earned the coveted accreditation of the United States Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program which sets standards for sustainable construction and design. She is also a member of the Florida Green Building Coalition and the National Environmental Health Organization.
Serving on the American Lung Association Southeast Florida Board for nearly a decade, Bernadette has designed numerous Health Houses and co-authored "A Baby's Breath" program for ALA, which educates expectant parents to the importance of creating a healthy nursery and home.
Bernadette's partner, Daniel R. Giordano, is an Industry Partner of ASID, a present board member of ASID Florida South Chapter, and a member of the Florida Green Building Coalition. Daniel brings a 35 year career in custom window treatments and installations to EcoDecor.

Do you have any homes under 3000 sq ft that you are building? My husband and I are looking to build a new home in the next year and are interested in a green home. We want to find out what kind of prices are out there for a house that is approximately 2000 sq ft. We really don't need anything bigger than that. Can you give us some feedback of how much a house like this would cost and the names of some builders if you don't build this size home?

Really very good that the loan limits will not go into effect until the expiration of the Economic Stimulus limits.

Something we always advise for green home is the use of honeycomb shades/blinds on windows. They trap ait between the honeycombs and insulate windows very well. Ideal for drafty windows & skylight windows.
