Buildings account for 48% of energy use.
 
Reducing energy use, especially operating costs, is a priority for sustainable living.  Our homes, our workplaces and our neighborhoods are where we can have the most direct impact.

Sustainable design also protects occupant health, connects us to the natural world and fosters a vibrant community.

To achieve the goal of stemming climate change, we must methodically and inspirationally reinvent how we live and maintain our homes.

Our homes, yards, and neighborhoods are the engines for healing the global environment.  The goal of House Green is to provide solutions that can be implemented today, in your home and at your work.

Benefits of Sustainable Design: Roofing

When re-roofing, consider using metal roofing, not asphalt-based products.  Locally manufactured metal roofing provides multiple benefits: 

  • recycled content
  • longer life
  • attractive options- shingle, slate, standing seam, etc.
  • local jobs, less energy to transport
  • lower energy use in home when using energy star products
  • lower heat-island effect in city
  • clean water off roof for gardening and cleaner rivers
