Hi there, I am in the process of searching to buy my first home, which I intend to upgrade and convert to become entirely self sustainable and energy efficient. I always think in my head how much is this situation, and that produt actually costing me if I were to measure it by energy and I was relatively surprised when I watched your TED video. I would like to learn more on how you calculated the ‘megawatt hours of embodied energy’ into your house and if you recommend any books that are worth reading.

Hi my name is Ramses Valero I’m a university student at Tec de Monterrey in Hermosillo Sonora.
Right now we are doing a project for our class of technology’s innovation and development, it consist of energy readers that could be place in the house and in business for recollecting the consumption information, the main purpose is giving value to that information, for the family, the business and the electro domestic industry.
If you could give us some advice we would appreciate it.

Hi Catherine,
Seeing as how you are an active and prominent voice in the green building community, I wanted to reach out to you on behalf of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). SFI is a non-profit, third-party forest certification organization that is fully independent with a rigorous standard grounded in science, research, community involvement and regional expertise.
After reading your posting on April 16th, “Is Wood Green?”, I thought you might be interested to know that the SFI standard was developed by professional foresters, conservationists, and scientists, and informed by a wide range of public and stakeholder views. SFI’s Board of Directors represents environmental, social and economic interests equally.
The SFI label can be found on many products, and it is backed by strict requirements that give consumers confidence that their purchased goods come from well-managed forests. I hope you visit SFI’s website at sfiprogram.org to learn more about our program. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at info@goodforforests.com if there is anything else you would like to know about forest certification standards or SFI.
