It's not unusual for an architect to announce, with great fanfare, that he or she has just designed "the greenest home in America" — nor is it unusual for journalists to rush these stories to print. The phenomenon has been going on for years — so long, in fact, that I decided to do a small survey of the "greenest homes."
