Proud to be a Green Builder

Why build green? . . .

Sustainability - A house or building will last longer, because it is built using materials that coexist with the environment, requiring less maintenance over the life of the structure. Building a structure to last over time.

Healthy Living - Reduced VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) which are gasses emitted by materials used during the building process and after. Some common VOC sources include: aerosol sprays, cleaners, formaldehyde, paint, solvents, etc. Other indoor pollutants will also be reduced such as; biological contaminants (MOLD, bacteria, dust mites, roaches, pet dander, pollens), environmental contaminants (tobacco smoke, chimney smoke).

Energy and Resource Efficient - Landscaping to reduce the amount of water and fertilizers required to maintain foliage. (zeroscaping) insulated windows, OPEN CELL-FOAM insulation (HUGE difference between open and closed cell foam), the type and settings of your air conditioner and air cleaners all pertain to saving energy and natural resources for our future.

For those respondents who don't plan on investing in green or energy-efficient products, 56 percent attribute that response to a lack of awareness of green product options and benefits.

55 percent of respondents say it would definitely influence their choice of a builder or contractor if they offered energy-efficient windows and doors.
52 percent say it would definitely influence their choice if a builder offered energy-saving appliances or lighting.
51 percent say it would definitely influence their choice of builder if he/she offered insulation that delivered significant energy cost savings.
