Absolutely. Green houses are tighter than regular houses, so indoor air quality can be compromised by products and materials that off gas. Here are a few suggestions: Paints and stains with high levels of VOCs(volatile organic compounds). Generally speaking, oil-based finishes have higherVOC levels than do water-based products. Carpeting that that does not carry the Carpet and Rug Institute’s Green Label or Green Label […]
Read moreKnowing something about building science helps, yes. Builders who are just starting to dive into green building will need a grasp of basic techniques: how to make sure the building envelope is tight, the pitfalls of sloppy HVAC installations, how much insulation to install and which types work best, how to install windows and doors so they don’t leak, what kind of roofing […]

Read moreYes, and in more ways that one. Energy conservation is one of the main goals of sustainable building, and following the basics of green design certainly lowers the cost of heating and cooling. All of it makes a difference, so site the house to take advantage of the sun, create a tight building envelope, invest in adequate insulation and choose energy […]
Read moreIn a word, no. But they can if you want them to. The boom in passive solar design or green houses during the 1970s encouraged lots of owner-builders to construct energy-efficient houses. Some excellent books on energy conservation and building theory were published at the time—books such as The Owner Built Home, by Ken Kern (1972), and From the Ground […]
Read moreDuctSox can be used for every applications ranging from hospitals, pharmaceutical facilities, research and medical laboratories to food processing areas and many more. DuctSox can also be use to retrofit current air dispersion system or conventional metal ductwork to provide cleaner and better air dispersion. Comment below for more information.
Read moreGreen is often less expensive when all things are considered. Sustainable building often seems more expensive than conventional building. Many of the building materials that make houses more durable and easier to heat and cool aren’t cheap. Complicated systems that allow a certain amount of energy independence–photovoltaic and solar hot water panels, for instance—can be very pricey. Common sense would […]
Read moreThere are a lot of reasons why green building is suddenly a big deal. Sustainable building isn’t exactly a new phenomenon, but it has certainly taken root in a way that earlier efforts to change residential construction did not. Chalk it up to the coalescence of many things. Energy costs are one key. The frenzy in passive solar design that […]

Dan mereka bisa melakukannya tanpa mengganti […]
Read moreGreenbuilding is the next step in quality. Green building is an approach to construction that can be applied to public and commercial buildings as well as the houses we live in. It guides every step of design and construction, from choosing a building site to installing a heating system. Green building is alternately described as “sustainable” building, and ultimately this […]
