What does building green mean? It means that every home offered by Global Direct Homes + Interiors is designed and constructed to support the natural environment and enhance the well-being of its occupants. It means our homes offer significant improvements in energy efficiency, indoor air quality and comfort, factory waste recycling, and water and wood conservation.
Our environmentally conscious homes incorporate building materials made from sustainable wood eliminating the customary OSB for sub-floors. I-joists are used for roofs, decking and sheer walls, eliminating the excessive use of resins, formaldehydes and waxes. In addition, all of the materials provided in our home packages are utilized in the building process, which means less waste going to landfills.
Green homes are safer, healthier, more comfortable and more durable. They reduce greenhouse gasses and problems with mildew and other indoor toxins. Additionally, our solar package — standard with every home we offer — reduces the cost of utility and water usage. Wooden shutters (also standard) enhance the homes overall energy efficiency and add to the aesthetic of the home.
Residential green building is no longer a trend, it is the future of building. Environmentally responsible, it contributes to a more eco-friendly world – and that benefits everyone.
