The trend towards building construction isn’t going anywhere soon with an explosion in the industry, and property prices strong in the British Columbia area. With more people taking renovation projects, there are more contractors to choose from than ever before. For their vision and their requirements, many homeowners face the difficult task of choosing the right construction partner.

The Built Green program has been developed as a way to objectively identify leaders and outstanding providers who are practicing responsible sustainability practices in the residential building sector. The Built Green logo is a symbol of trust and quality that can help you identify a highly qualified contractor When it comes to choosing the right one for you. 

Take a look at the five key benefits that choosing an eco-friendly construction company can provide:

•  Low Maintenance and Operation Cost

To ensure efficient use of resources such as water and energy, green buildings incorporate such unique construction features. The result: this allows users to save as much as a third of their water and energy bills. Reducing such costs significantly increases the earnings of homeowners given that operating and maintenance costs can account for as much as 80% of the lifetime costs of a building. The reduced operation and maintenance costs of green buildings make them much cheaper in the long term. Constructing a green building may be slightly more expensive than their non-green counterparts.

• Energy Efficiency

From non-renewable sources such as coal, designers of green buildings try as much as possible to reduce dependency on energy. They install solar panels to make use of energy from the sun, and design windows in a way that allows as much natural light as possible. This process reduces the use of artificial light and therefore ensures that the building efficiently uses energy. Non-renewable energy sources are expensive and pollute the environment. That’s why energy efficiency is essential not only for the user but also for the entire world.

•  Better Health

The safety of materials used in the construction of green buildings can give the people who live there enjoy many health benefits. The fact that eco-friendly construction companies avoid using plastic by-products that have been found to release toxic materials, we decrease the chances of getting toxic substances like carcinogens.

• Material Efficiency

In a manner that allows for the minimum use of materials without compromising the quality of the outcome, material efficiency involves the use of physical processes and materials. It should generate as little waste as possible. In a manner that allows for the use of fewer materials and employs processes that use less water, raw materials, and energy, green building companies use long-lasting materials, recycle and reuse some products, design buildings to achieve material efficiency. 

• Reduces Strain on Local Resources

Local shared resources such as water and energy come under considerable pressure as the population increases. And, green buildings can reduce this strain through the use of technologies and processes that increase water and energy efficiency.
