At GreenBuilt Construction, we believe there is a continuum of Green. Each homeowner can choose the level of Green to implement in their project. Building green is not synonymous with more expensive. You can make the decision to take less from the environment, improve the air quality in your home and reduce monthly energy expenses without breaking the bank. Green doesn't have to be more expensive than conventional building. It is also reasonable to expect that once you've established a green foundation for your home, adding Green features and replacing less efficient appliances with appliances that are more energy efficient is part of the process of becoming more Green. Green doesn't have to happen overnight. It doesn't have to be a comprehensive change all at once. Green can be built into your project based on your budget and your long-term building goals. Switching old carpeting for natural fiber carpet is a simple example of moving from a non-green floor covering to a more environmentally-friendly floor covering. Carpet is notorious for the high concentration of toxins it releases into the air from the time it is produced to the time it serves as a floor covering in your home. The products used in the installation of carpet also release toxic gases and other negative elements into your home environment. By switching to a renewable resource that does not accumulate in landfills or release toxic materials into the natural environment - such as natural fiber carpet, bamboo or reclaimed lumber - you are making the decision to go Green. Making the choice for Green is making the choice for a healthier project, a healthier home and a healthier planet. There are many ways your project can embrace green building techniques and products. The use of wood products that are harvested from (FSC certified forests) fast-growing farm forests rather than from old-growth forests is a green strategy and can actually benefit the consumer immediately. Engineered lumber products use wood more efficiently, using lower amounts of the actual wood fiber, and are often stronger and more resilient than conventional wood products.
