Going Green

A Built Green home uses less energy, water, and natural resources; creates less waste, and is healthier and more comfortable for the occupants.

Benefits of a Built Green home include lower energy and water bills, reduced green house gas emissions, and less exposure to mold, mildew, and other toxins.

Built Green promotes construction of buildings that are healthier for the occupants and healthier for the environment. Sustainable or "green" building practices can reduce the impact that building has on both people and nature.

• Better energy efficiency means comfort and long term savings for the homeowner.
• Healthier indoor air means comfort, better health and peace of mind for the family.
• Durable, reduced-maintenance materials mean a longer life for the home and long term savings.
• Preserving natural resources means leaving more for future generations to enjoy.
