GREEN BUILDING GUILDLINES |
|
|
Lot Preparation and Design - Even before the foundation is poured, careful planning can reduce the home’s impact on natural features such as vegetation and soil; and enhance the home's long-term performance. Such preparation can provide significant value to the homeowner, the environment, and the community. |
|
Resource Efficiency – Advanced framing techniques and home designs can effectively optimize the use of building materials. |
|
Energy Efficiency – This is the most quantifiable aspect of green building. Builders create a better building envelope and incorporate more energy efficient mechanical systems, appliances, and lighting into a home, yielding long-term utility bill savings and increased comfort for the homeowner |
|
Water Efficiency/Conservation – Econmic use indoor and outdoor of water use can reduce utility bills, regardless of location. |
|
Occupancy Comfort and Indoor Environmental Quality – Effective management of moisture, ventilation, and other issues can create a more comfortable and healthier indoor living environment |
| REMODELING | |
|
Lower operating costs —homes are equipped with more efficient heating and cooling systems and use less water, resulting in lower monthly utility bills. Improved construction methods better protect homes from rain and ground water and reduce upkeep and replacement costs, while use of recycled materials helps conserve natural resources. |
|
Reduce maintenance issues —landscaping uses native or drought-resistant plants and grasses, and decks made of pressure-treated lumber or synthetic materials need no sealing or staining. |
|
Increase home value —homeowners with documented lower monthly utility bills are reporting higher re-sale values. |
|
Improve environmental quality —moisture-control products and low VOC paints contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment, and efficient use of materials helps conserve natural resources. |
