Whether you're passionate about saving the environment, want to save on energy bills and repairs, or simply need to move into your new place quickly, an eco-friendly home is the right choice for you. Fortunately, building your home guided by eco-responsibility is now easier than ever, as improved practices in the construction industry reflect the greening of building codes across America.

If you're in the market for a newly built home, you probably have a long list of requirements for your builder. Everyone's list is different, but one common element is that your new home needs to be ready quickly, or at the very least, on time. Yet we've all heard the horror stories of construction delays and families having to move out of their old homes before their new ones are ready. Fortunately, there's a way you can help ensure your home is built faster - ask your builder to use insulated concrete forms.

Winterizing tasks range from small to big, but each can protect a home and its inhabitants and some can even save homeowners a substantial amount of money. The following are four simple ways to winterize your home.
