Minneapolis Green Building Construction


Green building isn't a fad. According to the Energy Information Administration's Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey released in December of 2006 commercial (non-mall) buildings consumed 5,820 TRILLION BTUs of energy in 2003. That's a staggering number. No one believes we can or should continue these levels of consumption.
 
Green building construction is an emerging and popular option to reduce energy consumption, reduce waste, increase our reliance on recycled materials, and leave a smaller footprint on our environment.
 

A Sensible Building Strategy for the Future


Minneapolis Green building contractors consider project - and future - energy consumption in addition to many additional environmentally responsible ideas. Among those ideas are 

  • Logical and reasoned site-selection with appropriate and responsible remediation
  • Landscape architecture and installation that conserves water and embraces local vegetation
  • The use of building materials that include recycled components
  • Proper recycling of contractor site waste
  • Infrastructure systems that reduce energy and water consumption
  • Appropriate ventilation to ensure healthy indoor air quality
  • Consideration of alternative energy sources such as passive solar or ground source heat exchange
 If you are considering a new construction project it's important to recognize that while green building programs in most areas are currently voluntary, an increasing number of local governments are requiring the use of green building principles in new construction. You have the opportunity to be a leader in Twin Cities green building construction. Not only will the decision to use an experienced green building contractor have a lasting positive impact on our environment, but you will recognize long-term benefits in reduced maintenance costs.
