The health advantages to building green
Although you are free to decide the type of home you build, we make it easy for you to
choose to build an environmentally sound or "green home". We provide information, plans
and construction materials that are non-toxic, strong and safe, and experienced builders to
construct the home of your dreams. We also have pre-approved home designs that ensure
you a hassle-free building experience.
Green homes provide important personal health benefits. Homes built with green products avoid
the chemicals and toxins of conventional construction materials. According to the EPA, the air
in a new home can be up to ten times more polluted than outside air due to chemicals used in
building products. People who live in green homes free of toxins have many fewer health issues and/or allergies.
Green construction also focuses on energy efficiencies, often reducing energy consumption by half.
It is now possible to build luxurious green homes that reap all the benefits of green without sacrificing amenities or appearance.
