What kinds of improvements pay for themselves?
Being green is not about being complicated or high-tech. The most effective improvements are often the cheapest – lighting upgrades, better thermostats, improved insulation. Low-cost upgrades can make a huge difference and IntelliGreen Partners can help you.
