Benefits of Green Living

Health and Comfort Benefits

Living in a green home feels better and is better for you. A key to green building is making your house very air tight using advanced insulation and air sealing techniques. Combined with the right amount of ventilation, green homes much healthier and more comfortable.  Many people report enjoying deeper, more restful sleep because, among other reasons, they are breathing clean, filtered air. They also experience:

• Relief from too-dry air, including dry sinuses, flakey skin, chapped lips and static electricity

• Relief from too-humid air, including sticky-feeling skin, damp clothes, condensation, mold and mildew

• Fewer allergy symptoms because pollen and other allergens stay outside
• Quiet, because a tight house blocks outdoor sounds of traffic, loud neighbors, barking dogs and more
• Even heating & cooling throughout their homes with no drafts, hot, or cold spots
• A Cleaner House because tight homes keep out dirt, meaning you clean less often
• Lower energy bills because their homes aren't so leaky that they're heating and cooling the outside

Best of all, building and remodeling green doesn't have to cost you more

When you make the right decisions from the very beginning, you can have a great, green home by simply doing the right things the right way without spending a fortune.
