The key in creating a green house is the use of wood, and this must be the dominant material in building the house. It must also have spaces where you can view trees or even include trees as part of the rooms in the house. Some Green houses today even use solar panels or home wind turbines to have a more efficient energy that is not just eco-friendly but budget-friendly at the same time.
