Top Ten Reasons to build or remodel GREEN


Reduce the costs of inhabiting your house- energy bills, water bills, cleaning, upkeep 
Insure and retain the value of your house- insure that it will have a long lifespan and that it will   appreciate in value. You want to put a check next to "LEED" and/or " Energy Star" when listing your house. We are now competing in the energy and sustainability arenas, and the competition is on the rise.
Invest in your personal time- less maintenance, more personal or family time, better health
Set your bar high on your quality of life quotient- envision the simple pleasures of life and make them reality, like an outdoor shower, a covered terrace, a breeze flowing through your bedroom in the fall, collecting rainwater to water your producing garden. Your imagination is your limit.
5 Protect and conserve your and your children's natural resources- don't keep depleting the environment, harvesting mountains, depleting forests, dumping chemicals in  waterways, and polluting our precious air.
6 LEED the way- building environmentally sound and sensitive housing for the future generations is the right thing to do. You will set an important example for your children and your sphere of influence, therefore don't underestimate the importance of the choices that you make for your remodel or new construction project.
7 Achieve the best quality of indoor air and water-  two critical components of sustainability of life and health. You can do so by eliminating VOC's ( Volatile Organic Compounds) and other dangerous chemicals that outgas into the air from construction and finish materials, and by installing the best water filtration systems.
