Renovation Nation (2008)

Season 1

'Renovation Nation' was a green home building show starring Steve Thomas, formerly airing on the now-defunct Planet Green channel in the US. Episodes began airing 4 June 2008, and the show produced two seasons, totaling 66 episodes, before cancellation. Typically, an episode consisted of Thomas visiting homes that featured various types of green building projects, be they in new construction projects or in, as the title suggests, green renovations of older living spaces. Frequently homeowners and residences would be featured across multiple episodes, as each homeowner might have been involved in multiple projects such as alternative energy generation, energy conservation and eco-friendly construction techniques and materials.

S1E14 - The Old Way is the Green Way

Tonight, host Steve Thomas goes back in time to an 1830's farm in New Hampshire where he sees that the old way is the green way. Complete with a water-powered mill and oxen for logging, Steve only has one complaint: no power tools. Later, llamas help Steve mow a factory's lawn. Then, a driveway made out of seashells, by the seashore!

S1E15 - Decatur, GA: Butterfly Roof

Today, host Steve Thomas discovers how dirt gets up to a green roof. Then, two geologists from North Hampton, MA turn to the earth and sun for all of their energy needs. Later, a new kind of siding called paulownia, a childproof mud wall, is explored and the finer points of selling a green house are discussed.
