Finally Some Decent, Easy to Understand Information on ......
"How To" Build Green Homes
 

From: Otis Bradley
Green Home Designer and Builder
 

Dear Green Building Enthusiast,

Everybody talks Green ... but who really does it.

Thanks for being interested!  I've always loved the idea of building super efficient homes that fit in their environment.  These days whether you believe in global warming or not (I do) our country is faced with fighting for more and more of a smaller and smaller piece of the energy pie.  Did you know the United States - with about 5% of the world's population - uses about 25% of all the energy!  And guess whose energy requirements doubled from 10 to 20% of that pie?  Chindia (that's China & India).  Think about that ... it's a phenomenal global shift that will affect our lives dramatically.

Our buildings use almost half of all our energy!!!  It doesn't take Einstein to figure out it's time to make some changes.  The USA is way behind Germany, Japan and even China in our Green Building.

But it's not so easy!  We can't even figure out how to stop using incandescent bulbs much less make our homes Green !

Here's what's wrong:

• Our homes keep getting bigger and bigger and less efficient
• Construction is done in cheaper methods with shorter life spans
• Sloppier craftsmanship
• Wasteful material usage and poor recycling practices
• Not using Solar Systems like we should
• Wasting tons of water unnecessarily

Here's what we need to do:

• Build homes that work for how we live
• Build Net Zero Homes - that require little or no non renewable energy
• Install more Solar Systems
• Design for today - not 200 years ago!
• Remodel our existing homes to make them 50% more efficient

Here's why it never happens:

• Too complicated to figure out Green Building
• Costs too much! Not true!
• Too hard to build a house - no money and no time for the extra stuff
• Don't care
• I'll pay the bills

Luckily, there's a solution !

Questions about Green Building?

• How much does it cost?
• What are good designs?
• How do I figure out if Solar makes sense for me?
• ICF's, SIPS, Rammed Earth, Natural vs. Man Made?
• Radiant heat - what's the best way to do it?

We'll review all of these questions and get into the What, Why and How all this comes together in Green Building.  And we'll teach you how to find the answers that work for your home.   And of course .... much, much more!

“Why Should I Listen To You ?”

Great question!

My name is Otis Bradley and I have been designing and building homes for over 30 years.  I've built in the East coast, the West coast and points in between!  I've built homes for Billionaires as well as the poorest people you can imagine.  My homes have appeared in Fine Homebuilding, Modern Interiors, Architectural Digest and many other publications.  You will see examples from actual Green Homes built in the last couple of years as well as current projects.

Very few builders design houses as well as build them.  Having the ability to both gives me a unique insight to help you understand Green Building.  Most times you get the point of view from one side or the other but building is an art and a science.  I started learning architectural design when I was 15 and continued  at Rhode Island School of Design and at the University of California Los Angeles, UCLA.

Additionally, I am an active member of the NAHB - National Association of Home Builders, and a member of the "Builder - 20 Group" which is an exclusive association of 20 independent builders from around the country who meet twice a year to share information, practices and techniques.  I am also a member of the California Building Association and the USGBC.

What’s the Guarantee?

Take 60 days to test us out… watch the webinars… print out the “cheat sheets” process maps…ask questions  at the Q & A

If this course isn’t everything we’ve promised and more, then we’ll refund your entire purchase… no hard feelings. The only thing we ask is that you actually DO something with the material, because it WILL work for you if you just take some basic steps

My personal promise to you is to provide you with fun, informative information that you can easily understand and put to work right away.  Whether you are building a new multi million dollar home, remodeling your existing home or just plain interested - The Green Building Sessions are for you!

Sounds great! How much are the...
"Green Building Sessions" ?

Well, we’re glad you asked...

Consider the following:

If you are considering building a Green Home (or any home for that matter) - you will be shelling out lots of $$$
$5,000 here and $5,000 there.  Depending on the scope of your project.

• Architect   $20,000 - $100,000 or more
• Civil Engineer   $10,000 - $30,000 or more
• Structural Engineer   $10,000 - $30,000 or more
• Soils Engineer  $10,000 - $20,000 or more
• Landscape Design
• Interior Design
• Etc., etc., etc.........

It doesn't matter if you are budgeting $500,000 or $5,000,000 for your custom Home - the fact of the matter is - anything you can do up front in terms of planning - understanding - learning - can save you Tens of Thousands of dollars!!!!!!

A Green Building Consultant - if you can find one - (one who really understands design and  building not just checks the forms from some Green Build Program) can charge thousands of dollars too !!!

I charge $150 an hour for consulting on projects...

12 Sessions at approximately  1 1/2 hours each =  18 hours
18 x $150 =

$2700

$2700 is a reasonable fee for a Green Consultant who could save you Tens of Thousands of dollars!!!!!!

And this course is worth every penny but...

It is a packaged course not an individual project - So we are able to bring the cost down.  We thought $999.95 makes a lot of sense - it's a reasonable fee and a 63% discount

But...

It's a tough economy and we want to get this course out to everyone we can so we came up with a price of ...

$189.95

That's less than $17 per session - which includes an hour and a half webinar - that you can download as an MP3 - not to mention all the valuable extras like cheat sheets, process maps, lists of reference materials and .... much much more !!!

Special Charter Subscriber Offer !

But to make the deal even sweeter  ...

During our original recording of all the Live Webinars - we are offering a $29.95 per month subscription.  You can see both live and recorded versions of the Webinars.
