I thought I would take a minute to expand on some of the cool green features we plan to implement on our pole barn.
1.) The concrete slab will utilize fly ash. For reasons why fly ash is good for the environment please visit http://www.flyash.com/data/upimages/press/HWR_brochure_flyash.pdf
2.) We are using recycled cedar shakes for the siding. These would otherwise be in the landfill.
3.) We implemented an Energy Star rated steel roof.
4.) There will be an elaborate system of gutters and drains that will be used to recycle rainwater into our underground cisterns. This rainwater will be used to irrigate our garden and hops operation.
