Reduced impact on nature during construction
-
Conserving natural resources through use of sustainable forest products
- Low impact development - renewal of existing developed properties
- Recycling, not dumping 85% of jobsite debris
- Use of construction materials containing recyled components, materials
produced locally, and those that have longer life cycles such as 50-year
siding and 30-year roofing products
Less operational impact on the environment
(costing our homeowner's less in maintenance and utilities)
- Rain water retentional and dispersion system reduces environmental impact
- Recalculating system for domestic hot water and other water saving devices
- Efficient household appliances - we use only Energy Star rated appliances
- Extra insulation, air tight construction and insulated windows to reduce energy usage
- Installation of drought tolerant plant materials and limited use of turf grass reduces
outdoor water usage
A Built Green home is a healthier home
- Care is taken to reduce potential moisture problems by proper grading and ventilation and installation of metal flashing around windows and doors
- Inside the home we use only low-VOC, low-toxic, water based, solvent-free products
during the sealing and finishing of our framing, plumbing, insulation, drywall,
and painting processes
- Use of Urea Formaldehyde-free insulation and no added Urea Formaldehyde millwork
