Why build green

By changing the mold of construction and choosing to build "green” and “sustainable”, we could reduce the global emissions by more than half. Building Green should no longer be a trend, a privilege, or a choice; it should be an obligation. Good green construction methods use the chant of "measure twice, cut once" to its logical acute, and can eliminate construction waste. Green construction also ties into the way in which the house is designed as a home and living space, and how it consumes energy. A place can be exactly placed to maximize thermal warming in winter, and shade placement in the summertime.

In a similar way, green construction helps with electricity bills. By building the homes out of exactly measured prefabricated elements, the insulation effects can be significantly improved - most houses, when it comes down to insulation, have equivalent to 2 full sized doors open vis air flow. Green construction, done correctly disentangles this difficulty, and a well insulated home is cheaper to heat in winter, and cool in the summertime. Correct cooling and heating design / installation techniques are a major contributor to good green construction practices. These can reduce power and water bills or provide money flow to the home owner through an offset-tariff, and will, over the course of twenty years or longer, clear the value of their investment.

Eventually, doing a green home means doing a totally green home - you cannot do it part way. It doesn't imply that you have to "give up“ the way of life - but it implies a preliminary investment in planning and a dedication to cling to the home for a bit to recover your investment. Green construction is more than energy conservation. It also leads to a longer-lasting, fitter home and a better life-style.

Top 5 reasons to build Green

1. Less waste

One of the leading new technologies for Green building is to make pre-engineered walls, which means that the homes are manufactured in a factory with all specifications and measurements, delivering a house with almost no waste, thereby eliminating one of the biggest problems in traditional construction.

2. Protect natural resources

Green and Eco architecture does not use trees and avoids using hazardous materials, which are partially responsible for contaminating lakes and oceans. With Green building, we can conserve and restore natural resources.

3. Long-term economical savings

By building Green, we can reduce the operational costs in the long term, as well as create an independency for energy giving us our own source of energy.

4. Health benefits.

Eco houses benefit from new materials which are bio and do not harm the inhabitants of the house, such as cross ventilation, air sealing, ventilation, air filtration, moisture management, and heating and cooling systems to the extent of special vegetation which absorbs C02 and cleans the air.
