Whether you call it Green Building, Green Construction or Sustainable Building, it's where the new focus in building and renovation lies. Builders and home owners can focus on anything from using low VOC paint, higher R-value insulation and energy efficient appliances, to incorporating site selection, passive heating and cooling, solar and wind energy, heat sinks and use of sustainable, non-toxic materials.
Builders who get up to speed with Green trends now will lead the market in green building and retrofitting. New technologies are being developed all the time which means expanding options for residential and commercial buildings and increasingly affordable prices. |
