GREEN BUILDING is a way of building homes that allows people to be more responsible with our natural resources and energy. Whether building or simply remodling your home, green has become the most logical and economical choice.
The air quality inside our homes is worse than the air quality outside! This is due to formaldehyde in compressed wood counter tops and furniture, toxins in paints and common household cleaners; there are also the chemicals used to make our upholstry, linens and clothing. Just because you can't smell it does not mean it isn't lingering. This is why green matters!
A healthier way of building is to build green. In traditional construction, indoor air quality is polluted due to poor choice in building materials and inadequate lighting. A green home is designed, constructed and operated to enhance the well being of the occupants. Green homes also minimize the negative impacts on the community and environment.
A green home will:
- be easier to maintain and is built to last
- bring a higher resale value
- provide a healthier and more comfortable environment
- improve the indoor air quality
- provide occupant satisfaction
- incorporates energy and water efficient technologies
- include renewable energy technologies
- reduce construction and demolition waste
When you factor in the benefits I have listed, building a green home can save you money in both the construction and operation of your home.
Many people will tell you that building green will cost you more than a traditionally built home. In reality, with a clear budget, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to build a green home for the same price, or possibly less than, a traditional home.
