REALTORS® are paying attention to the green building trend sweeping the country. Our Asheville real estate clients are demanding eco-friendly quality and we are listening.A National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) survey points to the eco-friendly trend in building as one "which applies innovative and environmentally sensitive construction techniques and products to reduce energy and water consumption and improve residential comfort and safety."

Indoor Air Quality- A Safety Issue?
"Safety" frequently is thought of as an out-of-doors consideration. But indoor air quality (IAQ) - removing harmful air-borne elements from indoors- from stale air, to toxic pollutants given off by building materials, and possibly radon gas which seeps into buildings from soil through small openings in foundations - can be a very serious issue as well.
Think of IAQ in terms of homes sealed tightly: windows closed to retain heat or coolness and cut down on energy costs, and you will see what makes IAQ a potential safety issue.
This week in Asheville, AIA is offering a Lunch and Learn (June 8-Contact AIA) on how indoor air quality can be enhanced. Here is continuing education and insight on how daylight from above can help overcome modern design challenges when applied correctly, while also providing major green benefits.
Sustainable and Green Building - utilizing solar technology, improving indoor air quality, and improving energy efficiency
Daylighting - control, product selection, and code compliance
Building Trends - roof lines, building materials, and overall home construction
Overcoming Design Challenges - achieving balanced light, and lighting the core
Natural light from above can reduce energy costs and make living spaces more attractive and enjoyable- something both REALTORS® and our clients appreciate!
Further ?: IAQ and Natural Light Kudos
Light Pollution
Allergies
Beneficial Plants

Asheville Real Estate Journal
As I pondered the items on one of my Listservs the other day, I came across a simple but elegant "ad" from a land-buyer here in Asheville. Originally written in prose, the words, the tempo, and the sentiment were so lyrical that they called to my heart. I translated these to verse and asked permission to share it then with you...and here it is...one of the most beautifully -written ads I have ever read...

... looking to live our lives simply ...
~ KJ Laurro
... looking to live our lives simply ...
on two-plus acres of land
with a small simple home
a creek or stream
a few outbuildings. Flat land to garden
and have some animals.
Some trees also.
If someone has something like this,
and it means something to them
to know
that we would tend the land with a gentle hand and care for it with our hearts
fully invested in creating a way
to walk lightly and organically
and lovingly-
then please contact us....
We are eager to live within easy-reaching distance of Asheville . . . .
