GREEN BUILDING

Why build green?

Green homes provide substantial savings in utility and maintenance costs.

Green homes are more comfortable and more environmentally friendly.

What are some of the principles of green building?

Energy Efficiency

Green builders seek to create a better building envelope and incorporate more energy efficient mechanical systems, appliances, and lighting into a home. The result is long-term utility bill savings and increased comfort for the homeowner.

Water Conservation

Water Conservation saves water both indoors and outdoors with measures such as low-flow showerheads, dual flush toilets, water saving appliances and West Texas SmartScape landscaping.Indoor

Air Quality

Air Quality is enhanced in green homes due to proper air flow, reduced particulate matter, and reduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Effective management of moisture, ventilation, and other issues can create a more comfortable indoor living environment.

Use of Materials

Materials are selected for durability, environmental impact and reusability.
