Here is our Green Design and Build Ideas slide show presentation which we exhibited at our Alliance Partner Snider Homes' booth the National Homeshow in Toronto.

What this presentation wants to show is that Green design is more than just applying new technology. Green building is placing the building or adapting the building to its environment. Allowing the building to use the available natural resources such as sun, shade, wind and geothermal.
