New Building and Remodeling Consulting
Green Building means Better Building…Let Us Show You How
Our latest project with R.E.A. Homes.
The terms sustainability, efficiency, conservation and environmentally friendly are becoming more popular in the building industry. While all of these things are important, the most important thing to remember is that building “green” is really about building BETTER.
What does “Green” building really mean?
2) Healthier indoor air quality, especially for those with allergies and asthma
3) A more durable and well made home
4) More efficient use of water
5) Less outside noise
6) Fewer bugs and moisture problems
7) A house whose construction and operation results in less impact on our earth
If you are thinking about building a new home or remodeling your existing home then you will need a friend to help you through the process. At Home Green Home we have the experience it takes to make sure you know about new state-of-the-art technologies and building methods, while also providing the assurance that you will have a healthier, more durable and comfortable home to share with your family.
We are also fully conversant and certified in all of the Green/Sustainable building programs including…
1) LEED
2) NAHB/ANSI Green Building Standard
3) Energy Star
4) Indoor Air Plus
5) Builders Challenge
As consultants, our job is to provide you with the information you need to make smart choices. We listen carefully to your wants/needs and help make the programs fit your goals rather than the other way around.
We also understand economic realities and understand that additional investment in your home needs to be justified.
Once the choices are made, we work closely with your builder and/or contractors to ensure that your home meets specific standards as well as YOUR goals.
Even the best builders need help understanding the new technologies and generally appreciate the value of having a qualified, independent consultant representing YOUR interests throughout the process.
Statistics show that incorporating green building practices into your project may add a small amount (as little as 5%) to your initial investment, but the return on your investment continues for the life of the home, therefore creating a more valuable and enjoyable home.
Give us a call to find out how we can help make your new home project easier, less risky and more successful.
