GREEN BUILDING
NWD Construction Inc. is proudly Green Building Certified. Green building brings together a vast array of practices and techniques to reduce and ultimately eliminate the impacts of buildings on the environment and human health. It often emphasizes taking advantage of renewable resources, like using sunlight through passive solar, active solar, and photovoltaic techniques. Effective green buildings are more than just a collection of environmental friendly technologies. They require careful, systemic attention to the full life cycle impacts of the resources embodied in the building and to the resource consumption and pollution emissions over the building's complete life cycle. This includes the use of paints with no & low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) which is safer and healthier for the customer long term. We offer materials manufactured with recylcled materials such as Trex®. On the aesthetic side of green architecture or sustainable design is the philosophy of designing a building that is in harmony with the natural features and resources surrounding the site. We reuse construction waste and recycle at the office as well. There are several key steps in designing sustainable buildings: specify 'green' building materials from local sources, reduce loads, optimize systems, and generate on-site renewable energy. We are a certified ‘Green Builder’ and can give you a complete consultation on how to improve your energy efficiency, practice sustainability, and save on your energy bill.
