WHAT IS GREEN
GREEN [TO PRESERVATION HOMES] MEANS THE FOLLOWING:
- Sustainability (meaning: our limited natural resources need to last indefinitely and can because of thing we’re doing differently in GREEN BUILDING)
- Energy Efficient Operation (meaning: products, systems and methods we implement reduce the energy consumption of our GREEN HOMES)
- Healthy Indoor Air Quality (meaning: products, systems and methods we implement dramatically improve indoor air quality and reduce off-gassing)
Good examples of GREEN MEASUREMENTS are:
