WHAT MAKES A HOME GREEN

Home buyers, homebuilders and remodelers across the country are increasingly interested in green building. But what exactly makes a home green?

Green building & remodeling means improving the way that Homebuilders and Remodelers design projects to better utilize the building lot, energy, water, and material resources to reduce the impact on human health and the environment. Building or remodeling a green home involves making environmentally-preferable and sustainable decisions throughout the building process. Decisions should be made to minimize the environmental impact of the home while it is being built or remodeled and over the many years it will be lived in. No matter your location or living situation, the opportunities for living a greener life at home is limited by your imagination.
