WHAT IS GREEN BUILDING?

Green building is using sustainable materials and construction techniques to reduce the energy and electricity consumption, water use, raw materials, and waste produced in the construction of residential and commercial buildings.

THE IMPORTANCE OF GREEN BUILDING

In the United States, buildings account for:
– 72% of electricity consumption

– 39% of energy use

– 38% of all carbon dioxide emissions

– 40% of raw material use

– 30% of waste output (136 million tons annually), and

– 14% of potable water consumption

HOW DAFFAN HOMES PROMOTES GREEN BUILDING

We recycle all reusable construction materials through the Habitat for Humanity Restores in our local community.

We build our homes with 20-60% higher insulation values to reduce home heating and cooling electricity use.

We offer energy star appliances and light fixtures to further reduce electricity consumption.

We offer alternative heating and cooling systems such as geothermal and passive solar designs.

We are a member of the U.S. Green Building Council.
