What is Green Building?

Green Building is a blend of both socially responsible and advanced building products and practices working together to reach a singular goal: an eco-friendly, efficient, sustainable, and healthy home. Simply put “A home that creates a smaller carbon foot print during construction, uses less energy and natural resources, while providing a healthier environment to live in.”
