Press Release Summary: Building a Green Home? Start on the Right Foot by Selecting
a Green Architect for Your Project

Press Release Body: (Washington, DC) Are you considering building an energy
efficient home? The first step is choosing the right architect to design your home.
An Architect’s role in a green home design is certainly more than specifying the
materials in a building. An architect interprets your dream or vision for an energy
efficient home, exploring all possibilities, studying and responding to the site and
environment that your home will become an integral part of – and works to
continually better that built environment.

An architect enriches the process and the project through integrity, conscientious
design, environmental awareness and the application of skills specific to their
trade. Homeowners who involve an Architect are ensuring that their welfare and
vision are paramount.

Green Architect Jeremy Bonin, AIA NCARB LEED AP wrote an article for the U.S. Green
Building Council with tips on how to find a qualified architect for your green home.
Bonin is Principal Architect of Bonin Architects & Associates, a LEED accredited
professional (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) a member of the
American Institute of Architects (AIA), an award-winning architect and author with a
special interest in sustainable design. In the article “Selecting an Architect to
Design Your Green Home” Jeremy defines the roles of the client and Architect in the
design process, the steps to having a successful relationship with your Architect,
and lists valuable sources where you can look to find an Architect for your home.

Make the first right decision in building a green home – choose the right architect.
The result will be an home that limits negative impact on the environment, and is
energy efficient and cost effective, and a comfortable haven in which your family
can thrive.
