In fact, Thursday, February 14, is officially Green Building Day at the show. (You thought it was Valentine's Day, didn't you?) I'll spend a good part of the day in the HGTVPro.com booth, observing some interviews with people who know a lot about green building, including Bill Asdal, CGR, a remodeler who renovated a 100-year-old farm house into a zero-energy house, and Mike Luzier of the NAHB Research Center, who will discuss the new NAHB green-building standards. Those interviews will be on HGTVPro.com Weekly later this year, as well as on the website.

I'm also looking forward to seeing the many new products related to green building. The number of green products seems to be growing exponentially these last couple of years. I guess that means green is here to stay — at least as far as those manufacturers are concerned.

What about you? Are you doing anything to go green? Adding more insulation to the homes you build or remodel? Sticking with Energy Star appliances? Installing solar-energy systems? I'd love to find out what's going on beyond the walls of the Orange County Convention Center, so add a comment to this blog.

I'll see you when I get back!
