Project: Building Green

Bob visits with architect Alan Shope who has built a unique earth-bermed house at his farm in Upstate New York.

Architect Mary Kennedy and Bob tour her Georgian Colonial family home in Westchester County, NY. After a flood ruined the house, the challenge was to salvage and preserve the spirit of the house while incorporating the latest building green technologies.

Bob visits the South Bronx, NY, where Habitat for Humanity has partnered with private developer Les Bluestone to create a green oasis for low-income families that focuses on energy-efficiency, indoor air quality, and sustainability.
