I found this article about second home buyers joining the "green" trend and got to wondering how many home builders or owners are building green in Garrett County.
A search for "building green at Deep Creek Lake" helped me to find Phil and Lisa Malone's web site - Our Cool House. It looks like this couple has all the information that anyone would need to get green. Here's an excerpt from their home page.
Our Adventure: Rather than building a traditional Energy-Hog home, or even a non-traditional Energy-Efficient home, our new home is a unique fusion of energy efficient techniques, and environmental sanity. Our goal was to create a home that uses the sun, earth and water to create a pleasant living environment where we can enjoy the wildlife, and which also reduces our demands on non-sustainable resources. I think we succeeded!
The site details the entire process that they went through to reach their goals.
