As promised, here it is.

GreenBuildingAdvisor.com is dedicated to providing the most useful, accurate, and complete information about designing, building, and remodeling energy-efficient, sustainable, and healthy homes.

A product of BuildingGreen, LLC, a provider of information on sustainable building for more than 23 years, GreenBuildingAdvisor.com also draws on the resources and expertise of partner Taunton Press, the publisher of Fine Homebuilding.

Most of us who bring you GreenBuildingAdvisor.com (Our Team) are former builders, remodelers, and architects. Because of that we know the need for a single resource where design and construction professionals and knowledgeable homeowners can get the full complement of the information — and insight — they need to design, build, and remodel green. That's why we've brought proven construction details, in-depth how-to advice, a green-products database, green business strategies, design tools, and alternate paths to code compliance together in one place.

Who is it for?

I've been scoping it out over the last couple days, and it's already so much deeper than I'd imagined it might be. Here's some quick links to some of my favorite content so far to get you going:

Free membership allows commenting throughout the site and the ability to post questions in the Community area; a free e-newsletter is also available.

A GBA Pro account unlocks a much deeper reservoir of access, including advice and videos from the advisory team, a growing volume of annotated CAD details (there's already over 500), and many more goodies... and one of the most useful for professional users will probably be the MyGBA project management space that allows you to bookmark articles, photos, drawings, and videos, and share information and instruction with clients, subcontractors, and colleagues.
