Green Building in Houston TX
If you are thinking about buying or building a GREEN Home in Houston, Texas I recommend viewing the guidelines fron the Greater Houston Builders Association and Green Building Initiative (TM). These guildelines are very thorough and take you step by step for what is needed to have a home considered to be GREEN.
Below I will have a link for the Booklet of Guidelines. For now, here are some of the areas that are focused on:
- Site Development
- Materials
- Energy
- Health
- Water
- Operations and Homeowner Education
I will be posting on each of these subjects in detail along with a post on Local Vendors that can help answer questions. Each of the above bullets contain a list of Minimum Requirements to be considered GREEN. It is important to have a professional to help guide you through this process and make sure that you are getting:
- The benefits and end result that you desire
- The proper installation of materials
- Accurate description of all items going in to the home
Green Homes work as a system. Sort of like owning a car..if the Transmission goes out the system is broken. Make sure you do your research. If there are any questions that I can help you with, please feel free to call or email. I can also provide you with a list of Local Vendors/Builders that have experience for each aspect.
