About Live Green, Live Smart Builders™
Live
Green, Live Smart Builders is involved in a
variety of residential and commercial projects.
We are a group of professionals: builders,
architects, sub-contractors and suppliers who
are dedicated to make each project as
sustainable, healthy and energy efficient as our
budget allows. Our goal is a simple one; to make
the world a little better place, one project at
a time.
Ronn Jansen has been president of Live
Green, Live Smart Builders since 2008. He has
over 25 years of construction experience
building residential homes as well as retail and tenant build-out projects. Ronn
is passionate about eco-construction. "It's
amazing what they're doing these days with
green construction, and there are incredible
new products on the market every day."
However, he warns that some 'green' products
don't hold up well in Minnesota's climate of
dramatic temperature changes. "I've gotten
really excited a couple times, only to find
out a product just doesn't stand up as well
as promised. As part of our customer
committment, our team researches new
products carefully before we recommend
them."
History
Live Green, Live Smart Builders was founded in 2007 as the for-profit
offshoot of the Live Green, Live Smart Institute, an organization focused on environmental
initiatives to design low impact, green,
sustainable and environmentally friendly
housing. Live Green, Live Smart, led by
founder Peter Lytle, created The Sustainable
House™, the world's first and only
residential home to receive the highest
certification score, LEED Platinum, from the
US Green Building Council. In addition, The
Sustainable House™ was the first Minnesota
GreenStar Gold level home. Live Green, Live Smart Builders helped
create one of the world’s greenest homes,
which was awarded by the US Green Building
Council, its first LEED for Homes Platinum
Certification.
