WHY BUILD GREEN?
Energy efficiency
A home that reduces or eliminates consumption of non-renewable resources and even produces energy of it's own, is less taxing on existing resources, the earth, your health, and your wallet. Not to mention a substantial increase in comfort.
Quality of life
Your home is your sanctuary. A place you and your family will spend a great deal of time in should be devoid of any risk to health. Dedication to green building focuses on eliminating harmful toxins, emissions, and pollutants that can cause the air indoors to be more polluted than the air outside.
Value
Not just the kind measured in R's and U's. Peace of mind. Insulation from future increases in costs of conventional energy. Much lower maintenance requirements. Potential for onsite energy production to offset the energy required to run your home, or even to generate surplus energy, resulting in credits on your energy bill. Higher return on investment than a conventionally built house.
Environmental Responsibility
We tackle the issue of construction waste from the top of the chain, starting with the design of the home. We choose to have materials delivered as efficiently and as minimally packaged as possible. Our mindset is to return as much leftover material as possible to a process of usable products rather than a landfill.
