Green Building Template:
A major tenet of DNR's Environmental Design Program is to promote better building techniques for all of Maryland's residents,
especially for those in our urban areas. By designing and constructing more environmentally sensitive, resource efficient homes, rowhome owners
will save much-needed income from lower utility bills and enjoy healthier indoor air quality.
