As our country as a whole has become more environmentally aware of our effects on our planet it’s becoming more apparent that we need to be good stewards of our limited resources and minimize our carbon footprint.

Green building/Remodeling is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources energy, water, and materials while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better orientation, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal.

Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built 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

It’s our goal as a member of Austin Building/Remodeling community to do our part in preserving Austin for the next generation.
