Building Green, Caymus Construction, Boone, NC
Green building, also known as green construction or sustainable building refers to a kind of structure and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle. The life-cycle runs from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and even the demolition required in any home rennovations project. This requires close cooperation of the design team, the contractor, and the client.
Although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures, the common objective is that green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the building environment on human health and the natural environment by:
- Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
- Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
- Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation
Therefore, we:
- Thoroughly seal every joint and edge with caulk to ensure energy efficiency.
- Buy locally. If the material is high quality and competitively priced, we look for Western North Carolina building products before we look anywhere else.
- Consult with local North Carolina environmental scientists whenever it is appropriate.
- Use biodegradable building products.
- Work efficiently with building materials to cut down on waste and extra costs.
- Have recycling capabilties set up on our job sites.
- Use state-of-the-art building technologies to produce ecologically sound custom-built homes for Western North Carolina.
