Going Green in Florida

[GvilleRenovator]

Hello All,

I am glad to join this site after finding Ecomodder and getting going on Greaning my world.

Recently moved in with my girlfriend to a house she LOVES. I on the other hand wish it had been built a bit more Eco Friendly.

My first step was to install programable thermostats on the two A/C units and find a water leak.
I have begun the task of sealing the duct work, built out of duct board and flex. All joints were loose.

Tinting huge plate galss windows it next.

Adding cellulose insulation to the kids side of the house which has thin Fiberglass batts.

The second air handler is in the attic which I would love to find a way to put it inside. Probably just box it and insullate along with boxing the duct work and insulating it also.

A Gorund Source loop is now on the list. (thanks to AC_Hacker) Lots of homework first.
(new option would be Earth Tube)

Gray/Rain water for use in toilets.

Paint with Raidiant ceramic on exterior.
