A demonstration of green construction

In May 2008, the Museum of Science and Industry opened the exhibit "Smart Home: Green + Wired," featuring a modular home created by California-based Michelle Kaufmann designs.

The 2,500 square-foot mkSolaire model home demonstrates several green building techniques including the use of recycled materials, sustainable gardens and a green roof.

In this video, Mark Boyer of YoChicago.com talks to Anne Rashford, MSI's director of temporary exhibits, about the exhibit's history, purpose and design.
