Green Building Pages

I just can found this website www.greenbuilindpages.com and I thought I would share it for my last blog. Green Building Pages is an online resource guide for sustainable products and green building materials. The website has a green product link where you can browse through sustainable materials or search specifically for a certain product. They also have an area where to can look for products that specifically contribute to LEED points.

Green Building Pages also has information on LEED accreditation including where certain points contribute to certification and the max allotted points in areas. They have a checklist of the different areas the building to gain more LEED points.

The website has a blog of green materials, links and resources, case studies, and new briefs available to review. The website is a member of USGBC and is based out of California (though they have materials on their website for all over the states).

Salvage One

Salvage One is a store in West Town that salvages architectural elements from demolition projects. They restore some items and built custom furniture from the salvaged pieces. They have 4 floors of stained glass windows, old fireplace mantels, light fixtures, sinks, tubs, and furniture. Their website is always getting updated with new items that they have aquired. They also rent out the space for events like weddings. The photo gallery is wonderful!

Salvage One is committed to recycling and preserving our history. All the pieces are unique and one-of-a-kind. I absolutely loved this store!
