In an attempt to demystify the definition of a 'green home', Peter Hoffmann, an engineer and green solutions expert presents the Layman Guide, a guiding reference tool to help the average man (and woman) on the street to better understand the meaning of a 'green home', and what it takes to verify your landed property 'Green'.

Do keep in mind that is not meant to replace any indexes from green building bench markers like GBI, LEEDS, Green Star etc, but is purely meant for guiding purposes only.

Peter Hoffmann is a Senior Director and Energy Efficiency Expert from Hijau Innovative Solutions.
