We’re all familiar with the broader advantage of building green – good stewardship of the earth. Many homeowners and business owners are motivated to incorporate elements of green construction into the building of their new homes or businesses. However, as they weigh the costs vs. returns in reduced energy consumption, some of their more ambitious ideas often fall by the wayside.

Here at Scholl Construction, we understand and share that desire to maintain limits on the carbon footprint of your new home or business. While we realize that a wind farm in every backyard is not practical today, we also realize there are things that we can do to make a difference now. In fact, we’ve made strides to incorporate a green philosophy into our construction processes without sacrificing efficiency or quality. Some of the steps we’ve taken include:

• We focus on conservation of building materials by avoiding unnecessary waste.
• We use sustainable building materials wherever possible.
• We employ design factors that take advantage of natural resources, such as southern exposures to maximize the benefits of sunlight.
• We utilize building techniques that reduce the need to unnecessarily cut down trees near structures during construction.
• We incorporate options for using energy efficient building materials, such as energy efficient heating and cooling equipment and higher rated insulation.
• We provide access to plumbing fixtures that conserve water.
• We build air-tight homes that, while providing adequate fresh air, dramatically reduce your heating and cooling needs.

At Scholl Construction, our goal is to achieve aesthetic harmony between your new home or business and the natural environment. We welcome an opportunity to discuss how we can make your home or business more energy efficient and earth friendly.
