Evergreen is leading the regionin the transformation to sustainable Green construction. Green Building is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources—energy, water, and materials—while reducing the impact on human health and the environment during the buildings life cycle. Green buildings are less expensive to heat and cool, are more comfortable and healthier to live in, and will ultimately be more valuable in the long term.

A green home is about more than simply utilizing specialized materials and systems—it requires a fundamental shift in thinking from start to finish. The key to successfully integrating green elements into any design is early involvement. Important decisions regarding site considerations, mechanical and electrical systems, and finishes must be carefully considered during the planning phase of the project, and Evergreen’s professionals are available to help you with this critical step in the process.
