Gain Confidence in Your Green Building Choices

There are hundreds of options for green building products and systems. We'll walk you through the pros and cons of each possibility, providing the information you need to make the wisest decisions.

Green features may include:

Improved indoor-air-quality through use of zero VOC (volatile organic compounds) and non-outgassing paints, particle board and construction adhesives.

On-demand water heaters for both domestic hot water and space heating. These heaters consume about half the energy of a standard water heater but supply an endless flow of hot water.

Recycled content materials such as engineered wood products, plastic-wood fiber decking, and fiber cement siding that are resistant to termites, fire, and water and have low, if any, maintenance requirements.

Substitute fly ash for cement in our concrete mixes for a stronger, more water resistant product. Fly ash is a waste product from coal-fired power plants that normally goes into landfills.

Solar energy systems to generate electricity and heat water for your home.
