Green Remodeling For Your New York Home
 Green Remodeling
is an approach to design and construction that respects the environment and conserves resources. It is a common sense approach that is available to all
New York home owners.
When remodeling your home or conducting any home improvement project within your
Albany area home, you should always consider your local environment to maximize
the efficiency of every aspect of your remodeling project.
There are four main areas that need to be focused on when planning your building
project. They include:
Water
Energy
Building materials
We can advise you on
green remodeling options
available to you, and the costs and benefits as applied to your next home
remodeling project. These days green design choices and products are readily
available and widely used. A few examples:
- New energy-efficient appliances.
- Improved fluorescent lighting.
- Efficient water heating, including tankless water heaters.
- Water-efficient plumbing fixtures that reduce the amount of water used in
the kitchen, laundry, or bath.
- Healthier paints and finishes with low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
that can eliminate odors and possible health issues.
- Passive solar heat or solar photovoltaic power, where feasible for your
project and site.
- Good ventilation and sealing of air leaks, to improve indoor air quality,
reduce heating and cooling costs, and make your home more comfortable.

Construction is currently in the process of receiving The LEED Certification
process. Achieving LEED certification is the best way for you to demonstrate that your building project is truly "green." The LEED green building rating system -- developed and administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, a Washington D.C.-based, nonprofit coalition of building industry leaders -- is designed to promote design and construction practices that increase profitability while reducing the negative environmental impacts of buildings and improving occupant health and well-being.
