Materials and Resources
1 High Quality Shop Fabrication. Components pre-assembled within a controlled environment.
Sustainable Sites
1 Site Speci c Design. Appropriate site orientation for solar systems and microclimate.
2 Reduced site disturbance and erosion during construction through prefab installation.
3 Permeable paving shaded by trees reduces water runo and reduces heat absorption.
Water Ef ciency
Indoor Air Quality
1 Moisture control using “breathable” exterior walls and interior venting. Construction does not support mold growth.
2 VOC Control. Use of low VOC paints, adhesives, sealants and wood panel products.
3 High quality air lters for forced air systems.
4 Garage Pollution Protection. No air handlers in garage. Separation walls are well sealed.
Clean burning replace and re pit. Energy and Atmosphere
