What exactly are the benefits of owning one of my Little Big Homes and what exactly makes them Healthy? The Quality Standards I am building to and which I enumerate on this web site go a long way toward answering that question.
But those Standards are necessarily skimpy on the details, and the term 'healthy' doesn't quite do my homes justice. We need another term to best capture the myriad attributes this home will bring to you, your family, and our planet. In fact when you buy a Little Big Home, you are getting more than just a 'healthy' home. Instead you are getting a home I prefer to call "Green" in the truest sense of the word. It is time to bring that label back.
And so, with that in mind, I thought I would tackle the question that begins this page via a series of blog posts I am writing over the next three weeks. Through these posts I will explain:
How my green Little Big Homes are more sustainable and better for the environment;
How my green Little Big Homes are more comfortable, feel fresher, and more in tune with a post-COVID lifestyle; and last but not least, explain
Exactly how my green Little Big Homes are substantially and demonstrably better for your health and the well-being of your family.
If you are a consumer curious about the differences between my homes and conventionally-built homes, these blog posts will make clear both the nuanced--and in some cases the completely unsubtle--differences that make my homes more durable, better performing, and unlike any other homes being built in Chicago today. If you are a medical practitioner, I hope these posts provide enough detail so you understand exactly how the materials and construction practices I use to build my homes give your patients the best chance to heal--and to live long, productive, healthful lives.
Starting with my next post, we'll dig deeper--starting in the basement--to uncover the myriad ways my homes are different and the many elements that make them vibrantly Healthy and Green.
Until then, be well.
