“A quiet revolution is occurring in green building design and construction.  Andy Leach of Leach Construction explained to me in great detail that using green building design and construction methods can [greatly reduce the energy demand for] heating and cooling systems - yes, even in Vermont.  Working with Efficiency Vermont, the Leach brothers... are building five-star energy homes.  These homes make economic sense and they make environmental sense.”
