  • Fairfield County Green Home Building Facts

    What is green home building? A green home is a home that is designed, built, and operated in an ecologically sensitive manner, without compromising comfort or quality of life. The building materials, systems and methods of construction that have been employed to construct the building, maximize three things:

    • The use of sustainable materials
    • Resource and construction process efficiency
    • Energy efficient building systems and materials

    Why build a green home? There are a number of very sound reasons to build a green home, chief amongst them being the desire to conserve non-renewable natural resources. Some of the other good reasons to build a green home include:

    • To reduce the homeowner’s dependence on fossil fuels, and promote clean air
    • To reduce direct heat gain and wind velocity with passive solar design strategies
    • To improve comfort within the home by using better insulation and envelope systems
    • To promote cleaner air with less mold and mildew, and fewer chemicals
    • To save money on overall energy costs
