Green Home Building Materials

Green  Home Building materials are ones that reduce pollution, habitat destruction and resource consumption.

• They are good for people and the planet.

• They have lower embodied energy in harvest, processing and transportation. Locally produced products from locally available resources have much lower embodied energy than those made in and transported from other countries.

• They are produced by companies that are socially and environmentally responsible.

• You can choose everything from using only Low VOC (volatile organic compound) products such as insulation and carpeting that do not out-gas and are produced with ozone safe chemicals to recycled steel nails.

• There is not a single product that goes into the construction of a home that does not have at least one green alternative you could choose.
