from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry's green website to help you understand more about green, and why we feel it is so important in today's remodeling industry.
Q: How does Green Remodeling benefit me?A: Green Remodeling reduces operating costs in the home by increasing efficiency, conserving natural resources, increasing the value of the home, improving indoor air quality and in turn, overall health; reducing waste, reducing emissions costs, and increasing productivity of occupants, and improving quality of life.
Q: How can I implement green concepts into my home in smaller ways?A: Green Remodeling can be done in small ways and doesn't necessarily have to encompass the entire home. It's easy to pick and choose elements that fit each particular homeowner. The following can be used:
