Go Green
Are you interested in building green? Are you curious about the green building process? Please contact us! We will be happy to share our knowledge with you. We are certified by the National Association of Home Builders as Certified Green Professionals.
The new craze of building "green" is by no means an exact science and requires a thorough knowledge of how homes and their systems function. It's a challenge to implement green features without having an adverse effect on other facets of the home. Green practices vary depending upon the climate zone. We have been trained in the most recent innovations of green building.
Advance Design and Construction Inc. utilizes the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Green Home Building Guidelines. This approach allows you to implement as many or as few green building ideas as you are comfortable with. Whether your intention is energy savings, minimizing impact on the environment, indoor environmental quality or all of the above, Advance Design and Construction Inc's knowledgeable staff can help guide you down the sometimes confusing path of choosing which principles are critical for you and your family and executing them for full benefit. Here are the broad Guiding Principles we try to apply to each project:
- Lot Design, Preparation and Development - Reducing environmental impact.
- Resource Efficiency - Optimizing natural resources during construction
- Energy Efficiency - Reducing energy consumption over the life of the home.
- Water Efficiency - Conservation of this precious natural resource.
- Indoor Environmental Quality - Healthy Indoor environment.
- Operation, Maintenance and Homeowner Education.
- Global Impact - Reducing emissions that affect the earth on a whole (ie. CO2, VOC's - Volatile Organic Compounds, etc...)
What does all this mean to you? Not only are you reducing your impact on the environment you will experience:
- Lower Operating Costs
- Increased Comfort
- Improved Environmental Quality
- Enhanced Durability and Less Maintenance
Whatever your "green dreams" are, Advance Design and Construction Inc. can help you and help get your project on an environmentally sound path.
