Everyone who renovates a home these days complains about the dizzying number of choices. Balancing everyday concerns—aesthetics, budget, durability—can be confusing enough given the multitude of products on the market. If you are determined to make the house green as well as beautiful, affordable and long-lasting, the number of decisions you face can be overwhelming. In an effort to help, Met Home convened a roundtable of green-renovation experts—via e-mail. At the virtual table were two architects, Rob Harrison and Eric Corey Freed; a planner, Steven Lenard; an interior designer, Denise Shaw; and the director of program that trains professionals in green homebuilding, Brian Gitt. Together, they explained how to go green without going over the edge.
