As Building Green TV host Kevin Contreras often says, if you’re going to build it, build it green. When he weighed the options, a steel post and beam frame for his straw bale dream home made the most sense. It’s half the weight of wood after all, and yet it has twice the strength. It is guaranteed to be straight, comes pre-cut and is made from 66% recycled materials – leaving our precious forests untouched. Termites and earthquakes beware! Watch this episode of Building Green for more on the latest in steel framing and other green building solutions for a greener, healthier, more energy efficient home. Top it all off with a green roof, and you are well on your way to helping save the planet.
