Green Building in Colorado

To build green or not to build green, is not the question. The question is, how much sense it makes to include “green” in your project.

First, let’s define green building. In is simplest form, it is using products, which are recyclable, and by using techniques and materials which are energy efficient. So why would everyone not do that? The answer is cost. One must look at the amount of benefit compared to the additional cost to obtain that benefit. This is nearly always a personal decision, which should be made by the owner. Sometimes, especially in remodeling, it does not make sense to spend a lot of extra money for a small amount of benefit. Holladay Brothers Construction, Inc. recommends a more in depth look at cost and benefit as the size of the project increases. In very small projects the cost of green building is seldom offset by the benefit.

Secondly, green building includes the use of materials, which were manufactured using processes that cause the least amount of damage to the environment. This will include products made from recycled materials, and products, which do not use excessive energy in their production. Holladay Brothers Construction, Inc. will always endeavor to use materials and techniques which are environmentally.
