As the realities of global warming, foreign oil, and toxic building materials start to rear their heads, it becomes more apparent every day for the necessity to build more sustainable housing. At JAG construction, we have been committed since our inception to building in a way that promotes more sustainable indoor environments, outdoor environments, and communities. There are numerous things that contribute to making building “green”. A general outline of some of the things that we see as being of utmost importance is as follows:

Site Considerations:

infill
erosion control
native planting
ground cover and runoff

Building and Structural:

superior walls
waterproofing and drainage
framing
windows
insulation and air sealing

Heating and Cooling:

High Efficiency
mastic/ sealing

Energy Use:

Energy Star and efficiency
Solar Power
