		<description><![CDATA[Green Building is like life: it is all about energy. How you control it, who has it, where it is flowing, and where it isn&#8217;t flowing. You control the energy and you have a great house (possibly a great life too).
So obviously insulation plays a huge part ini green building. Green building typically insulates a [...]]]></description>
