Green Building Mini Series

New Documentary/Reality TV show
"BIOS HOME" TMGreen Building and Design


BIOS is the Greek word for "Life". This new series will focus on how the buildings we work and play in can affect our lives, emotionally,

psychologically, financially and even our physical health. Showcasing the Bios Building Technology Center and the Boulder Ridge housing development,

we will interview homebuyers, owner/builders, contractors, government and power company officials. Sponsors will be able to highlight their building

products, such as, solar photovoltaic, solar hot water, geothermal heating and cooling, fuel cells, Icynene insulation, home automation systems and more.

Homeward Bound will provide interior design, decorating and landscape tips. The show explores both advanced technology and the human factor,

proving it is possible to help people, save the environment and be profitable!


The series will show how a clean, safe home can help boost family moral. We will examine the emotions, and speak to psychologists about the short and

long term effect that pride of ownership has on the adults and children, how building a product that has strong demand can boost a local economy, how the

design of a home can affect the affordability, and how today's technology can keep that home affordable for years to come. Indeed, how a small group of

thoughtful, dedicated people can change the world simply by leading the way!


The show will star designer, Jeff Metilly of Homeward Bound and green building pro, Steve Schappert of Connecticut Real Estate and Construction.

Produced by Melissa Chamberlain for the CHARTER commercial leased access channel in western Connecticut, with contributing writer Miles Shapiro.

Once produced the series will be marketed via our websites, CD's, blogs, YouTube, Podcasts, television networks such as TLC,

DISCOVERY CHANNEL, HGTV, HGTVPRO, and local television stations around the U.S., U.K. and Canada.


Schappert also has plans to launch a quarterly magazine in 2008 called "Connecticut Real Estate and Construction"
