"As a 'Green' Architect for Home Remodeling and the founder of GREENandSAVE.com, I have spent the past fifteen years researching and the past three years with my wife remodeling our own home with the strategies and products that we recommend in this site." - Charlie Szoradi

The result is a ground breaking eco-prototype four bedroom home that has utility bills that are under $60 per month vs. homes of similar size that cost over $600 per month to operate.

These innovative strategies have earned the respect of organizations across the country as well as the cover profile on Inventors Digest Magazine. "The web and "experts" offer so much information that the choices are often overwhelming. So, we aggregated the best practices from Government Agencies, Non-Profits, fellow Architects, Builders, and Manufacturers to give you actionable intelligence on what to do and where to get it."

Charlie Szoradi is an architect with over two decades of experience in high-performance green home design and remodeling. He is a sought after speaker on next-level design due to his ground breaking work and specific focus on the integration of great function and style with significant cost-savings and environmental sustainability. Charlie and his wife teamed up to create the High Performance House Transformation that took several years of diligent research and construction.

Cynthia Szoradi is a residential real estate agent in Philadelphia's Main Line. Cynthia has over four generations of family experience in real estate sales and development. She brings profound marketplace insight into homeowner demand and overall trends, and she worked tirelessly to make the home stylistically appealing with solutions that are also cost-effective.

Charlie and Cynthia together served as key sounding boards and counterpoints in the design and transformation of their formerly in-efficient 1950s residence into a ground breaking eco-sustainable home. The residence proves out over 50 sustainable design elements.

Charlie's comments:

"We have done so much research over the past three years that we wanted to share it. Since the initial un-edited web search results were overwhelming and contradictory, we dug deep, made the calls, and met directly with manufacturers, suppliers, installers, engineers, and other architects to determine exactly what to buy and where to buy it.  Our recommendations come from what we chose for our own home. Out of budget concerns, we calculated and then ranked the return on energy and other savings, so this site has the first Return On Investment (ROI) calculation rankings for Green Home Improvement. Now, hopefully you can review and also Take Action to save money and the environment."
