Why Build A Green Home
The following is a list of a few of the "green" features and building practices promoted by Omaha Green Builder:
Energy Efficiency
Insulation
Environmentally friendly insulation composed of recycled materials.
Water Heater
Solar panels connected to the hot water system saves approximately 80% on utility costs.
Appliances
All Energy Star Rated appliances
Air Sealing
Proper air sealing reduces air leakage and provides controlled ventilation
Indoor Air Quality
Paints
Use of low VOC or zero VOC painting products reduce health risks associated with many chemicals.
Ventilation
(ERV) Electronic Recovery Ventilators provide proper air changes which significantly reduce allergens, pollutants and moisture that can cause mold problems. Mechanical ventilation systems allow a constant flow of air from the outside and provide filtration, dehumidification and conditioning of the incoming air which results in improved comfort.
Conservring Natural Resources
Fiber Cement Siding
Cost efficient, environmentally friendly with fewer emissions released during manufacturing, longer life span which saves resources.
Brick and Natural Stone
Reclaimed pavers create a permeable surface for driveways. Natural Stone is perfect for walkways and patios.
Reclaimed Building Materials
Where feasible many used wood products (Doors, trim, moldings) can be purchased and used to again save valuable resources.
Flooring
Bamboo Flooring has a distinct “Green Advantage” being the fastest growing plant on the planet.
