- [Hemp\-Lime Binders and Mold Prevention](https://ecobuilding.org/nweg_member_articles/hemp-lime-binders/)
- [Hemp\-Lime Is Now in the IRC](https://ecobuilding.org/nweg_member_articles/temp-hemp-lime-intro/)
- [An Energy Audit for Your Home or Business Is an Important First Step](https://ecobuilding.org/nweg_member_articles/an-energy-audit-for-your-home-or-business-is-an-important-first-step/): A professional energy audit is your first step to saving 25% or more on your utility bills and doing your part for the planet\. An energy audit evaluates your space’s energy efficiency performance\. It can pay for itself by helping you focus on the most cost\-effective energy upgrades and weatherization improvements\.
- [House As A System](https://ecobuilding.org/nweg_member_articles/house-as-a-system/): How can your choice of a clothes washer affect the quality of air inside your house? Of all the decisions made during a residential construction project, this one seems trivial\. However, in modern houses, individual elements are related in ways that you may not think about at first\. Getting the complete picture requires that you think about the "house as a system"\.

Systems thinking is essential to design and build a home that is energy efficient, comfortable, durable, and healthy for people and the planet\.
- [Pushing the Energy Envelope in Bellevue “Zero Energy Idea Home"](https://ecobuilding.org/nweg_member_articles/pushing-the-energy-envelope-in-bellevue-zero-energy-idea-home/): Lead\-based paint was used in more than 38 million homes until it was banned for residential use in 1978\. For those renting, buying or renovating a pre\-1978 home, receiving a copy of the EPA's Lead Pamphlet is federal law, and duly warns against things like letting your children chew on the windowsills\.

Lead has been shown to affect children's brains and developing nervous systems, causing reduced IQ, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems, and is also harmful to adults\. Lead in dust, which is often invisible, is the most common way people are exposed to lead\.
