I found this old post on treehugger.com which suggests why this site came into existence. After searching high and low I was unable to find a homeowner based site that applied to the special considerations of building green in a hurricane zone. "Most building codes in 'the zone' now require new construction to be strengthened to resist hurricane force winds. But that's a one-off approach to sustainability. Do the new designs require owners to consume more energy intensive building materials? What about the impact on long term energy consumption? Think about it for a while and many more difficult and unanswered questions emerge with landscaping, stormwater management, and daylighting."
