Living Green

There are numerous ways to incorporate green building features into your home...from simple changes...to remodeling green...to building green. Improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality are critical elements that most homeowners strive to achieve in their green remodel or new home.

For existing homeowners, it is important to begin with a home energy audit to assess the current status of your home and evaluate what measures can be taken to improve efficiency, reduce energy bills and improve comfort. Strategies can range from sealing air leaks...to increasing the insulation in your home...to replacing windows, appliances and HVAC equipment with new, high performing energy efficient products.

For homeowners looking to build or buy GREEN, talk with your builder about a whole-house approach utilizing the NAHB Green Home Building Guidelines and/or the National Green Building Standard. These guidelines allow you to make choices regarding the degree of green that you want to achieve.
