ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS:
GREEN CONSTRUCTION


SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION, due to higher insulation values, better air infiltration resistance in the building envelope and the use of high efficiency heating and cooling equipment and lighting.
More SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PRACTICES through the use of recycled and sustainably produced materials. (Examples: Recycled cellulose insulation, sustainably grown lumber.)
LOWER WATER USE with low-flow plumbing fixtures.
Use of LOWER TOXICITY PRODUCTS, such as paints, adhesives, insulation.
LESS POLLUTION at the building site in the construction process, since most of it is performed in the factory. This includes trash, noise, erosion and emissions.
ENERGY STAR compliant building envelope, heating and cooling, lighting, appliances.
