Cooler Buildings - Residential

“Green Building” represents a comprehensive view of home construction, where the entire project is considered an interrelated system. The components of the building work together to reduce energy needs, make the home run more smoothly and be more comfortable. It is also more than just the home. It is the home’s surroundings, the landscaping. It is the neighborhood the home sits in. By recognizing that there are all interconnected, we can design a system that will function as a whole rather than a bunch of parts.
