 Green building is a catch-all phrase used to describe environmentally friendly construction. It includes many different
aspects of the home, from planting shade trees to save energy to installing water efficient plumbing. But, while green building is driven by a desire
to reduce the environmental impact of your home, it's also good for you.
Green homes consider your pocketbook. They cost less to heat, cool and maintain, and - if you ever decide to sell - they're usually worth more.
Green homes consider your health. Because they're built to minimize chemicals, mold and other harmful substances, they
protect you and your family from exposure.
Green homes are quality homes. They're built for durability, so they require less maintenance.
The Central New Mexico Green Building Initiative is committed to promoting sustainable, comfortable and affordable homes.
ENERGY SAVINGS
Because of increased energy efficiency, you'll save thousands of dollars over the life of your home.
WATER SAVINGS
By installing high efficiency plumbing fixtures and appliances, a family can reduce its water use by up to one third.
HEALTHIER HOME
Green homes feature superior indoor air quality, which improves their overall livability. Green builders reduce pollutants such as chemicals and mold,
and improve ventilation so your family can breathe easier.
PEACE OF MIND
Green homes are built with the environment in mind. From energy and water efficiency, to reduced construction waste and the use of renewable
materials, you can take pride in the fact that your home has less negative impact on the environment.
