Explore the Advantages of Green Building
Thermally efficient roofs, walls, and windows that reduce heating loads and enhance thermal comfort.
Building shape and orientation, thermal mass, and daylighting strategies that reduce cooling loads.
Significantly smaller HVAC systems and efficient electrical lighting strategies that capitalize on daylighting.
Water efficient supply and waste fixtures.
Adaptable interior designs, providing visual access to the outdoors, and access to daylight.
Interior finishes and installation methods that have lower VOC emissions.
Landscaping strategies that require little or no irrigation, permit groundwater replenishment, and provide on-site stormwater management.

Did you know?...
• The average heating and air ductwork has a 30% loss of rated air flow (research by TX/OK utilities, cities and universities).
• Random air leakage can cause up to 40% of a homes energy loss.
• Windows can be as much as 46% of a homes energy loss.
• According to U.S Department of Energy installing Low E windows instead of double pane clear can reduce a 5 ton cooling load to 3.5 tons.
• Most windows are not installed properly.
