the go green movement has gained a strong foothold in certain sectors of society.  But 2018 is shaping up to be the year where green building really takes off, especially in New Mexico luxury homes through Net-zero and zero-energy homes.  In the past, the green building and sustainability movement has primarily focused on conservation in the transportation sector.
