Drawing on the expertise of building professionals, the Green and Green website features topics that can help homebuilders and homeowners increase the green (sustainability) and green (monetary) value of their homes.

 The website name is also a play-on-the-name of the early twentieth century architectural firm Greene and Greene. The Greene brothers helped create the California bungalow style that much of  the West Coast’s and Southwest’s early 20th century architecture is based on and that current single family home designs across the U.S. developed from. Their incorporation of sunlight, shading, and natural ventilation into residential design remains important to today’s comfortable energy-efficient new homes.
