Some Good Reasons for Building Green1. A low energy, sustainably built home reduces utility costs thereby reducing overall operating costs while providing improved indoor comfort levels.
2. People want homes that are healthy, safe, comfortable, and asthetically pleasing to live in. These are four highly marketable features.
3. These features can increase property values and at the same time lower the cost of ownership.
4. Environmentally friendly landscaping (drought resistant plants and trees that are native to our region) can have enormous benefits in reducing water usage and providing shading to reduce cooling costs.
5. Decisions made early in the site planning and building design process will prove to have the greatest impact on cost and performance.
6. "Think Holistic". Envision the home as a total system of components that work in harmony with each other.
7. Learn as much as you can about how products and systems interact. Try to stay ahead of the curve by building to Florida Green Building Coalition standards for residential construction.
8. Learn how to control your construction waste by using materials efficiently and recycling where practical.
9. Design for effective stormwater management around the site and if in a flood zone, allow for unrestricted movement of water through the building as well.
10. Become a responsible steward of the environment. It's good for Florida now and for future generations that will live here. It's also good for your business. For more information, visit:
