Green building is the most recent trend in the building industry. It refers to a process of building engineering that produces a house using the least amount of natural resources and creating the smallest trail of debris afterwards. The idea of Green building is to make the smallest “Carbon” foot print possible in the building process.

The reduced impact of your building project can take many forms including:

• Innovative and Efficient Building Design
• Low Impact and Rapidly Renewable building materials
• Energy Efficient building systems
• Low Energy appliances and lighting fixtures
• Low Use Plumbing Fixtures and Efficient Water Management
• Minimal building site disturbance
• Creative Disposal or Re-Use of building waste
• Low Impact Landscape selection
• Efficient Insulation systems
  
• Increased indoor Air Quality

Green can be accomplished in varying shades; Light Green with only a few systems to Dark Green for multiple systems and materials. Many ideas can be incorporated at low cost to the project while other ideas may incur higher cost but can offer reimbursement of expenses over time.
