This is a new weekly series (Look at That) that Nic told me I have to do. Every Friday I’ll post some of the best and more interesting green links I’ve found in the past week. So sit back, grab a pint and kick off your weekend with a few green links:
- I got really excited about this fantastic method of controlling and monitoring home energy usage with an iPhone. Then I realized it is just a concept. Still worth checking out though.
- We’ve been looking at different solar thermal setups at the 100K House blog over the past few months. Here is a great article on someone who designed and installed their own solar thermal setup for only $3,000 and are already saving up to $100 a month. Not bad.
- Want to have your home rebuilt to LEED Silver standards after a fire? Check out the latest in insurance – Green Insurance.
