At Georgetown Development, we’re committed to providing our clients with products that have been created using recycled materials or with products that can help save energy throughout the home. But, what does all of that really mean?

Many times, our clients want to know what going green really means for them. How will it save money in the long run, or how will it really affect the environment? There are a number of questions that homeowners should always ask when looking into green or sustainable products and we want to make that as easy on you as possible.

Check out this list of the top 12 questions to ask when looking into purchasing a green product and then call us, we can take it from there.

Georgetown Development can help you plan your next renovation or luxury home design, green or not!

Typically trade shows are a mad house. Everyone is rushing from booth to booth to see what’s new, what’s on trend, what the next big thing is. This year’s American Institute of Architects (AIA) convention last month in Miami wasn’t really any different. While the number of attendees might have been smaller, the abundance of new products made up for it.

From sleek solar panels to decorative windows made from bamboo, this annual green conference displayed products for everyone. Click here to view some of the highlights.

Georgetown Development has worked on increasingly green homes throughout the Washington, DC metro area and would love to help you with your next green project.

It’s summer in Washington, DC so you know what that means; heat, humidity and a nice cool shower. But with new Water Sense guidelines from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are your cold showers coming to an end?

As water conservation becomes increasingly more important for many areas across the U.S., and because showering accounts for approximately 17 percent of residential indoor water use, low-flow showerheads (or other conservation-minded plumbing products, for that matter) are not going away.

So, does this mean that your high-blast shower has to come to an end? Not necessarily. Click here to view some new, water saving shower heads from manufacturers all over the world. At Georgetown Development, we understand how important it is not only to install products that compliment each home design but are also in compliance with DC regulations.
