Explore options for your own home or business at Southwest Build It Green Expo, taking place from Thursday through Saturday in the south building of the Phoenix Convention Center. Conference presenter Doug Edwards (a principal of sustainable custom homebuilder Edwards Design Group) points out that increased energy efficiency at home doesn't just pay for itself; it's even possible that monthly savings – not to mention current government incentives – could cover a loan or mortgage taken out to make the improvements.
