Attention homeowners — dreaming of greening your home? Willing to try something new — like blue jean insulation? Follow green builder Blake Holden as he turns a dilapidated Brooklyn brownstone into a vintage green home. Blake guides us into the construction site and through the renovation process for a peek at all the ways this eco living space is building on solid foundations. While reclaimed wood and materials preserve the look and feel of a classic brownstone, energy-saving features like blue jean insulation (who knew?) and radiant floor heating minimize the home’s carbon footprint. And natural building materials prevent toxic indoor air pollution, ensuring a safe, healthy living environment. The end result? The family home, recycled.
