Additions and Remodels
Live Green Live Smart Builders is Minnesota's
leading expert in eco-friendly building and
remodeling. We can
incorporate green elements such as enhanced
indoor air quality, energy efficiency and use of
sustainable materials to make your project a
success, only greener.
From sustainable flooring and FSC wood cabinets
to energy efficient appliances, we have the
recipe for your perfect kitchen. Natural quartz
countertops, dual flush toilets and solar hot
water systems can significantly impact your
water usage and create less pollution in other
parts of your house.
When
working on an existing structure, we’ll consider the building’s orientation,
mechanical system, lighting density, exterior shading, landscaping, and
water use when making green recommendations. Air leakage and thermal
bridging can be reduced through the use of advanced framing and insulating
techniques; mechanical systems are then reduced based on decreased demand
for space heating and cooling in airtight buildings.
Green projects typically cost more to implement but
recoup a higher lifetime return on your investment. And you'll be living in
a home that reduces your overall carbon footprint.
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.
