Design in Balance – offers building professionals a direct source to green materials

"My first exposure to sustainable building was in the early years of the LEED program when I received a questionnaire from the USGBC. I had never realized how many questions had to be answered to provide a healthy environment. I started Design in Balance to help answer those questions."
