Sustainable Rehab/Addition

One way to achieve “sustainable practices”…is to rehab a residence. The “embodied energy” in the creating of the materials that make up the building is immense- and rehabbing such structures recycles all that energy + the labor that went into it’s construction.

A sustainable rehab/addition incorporates sustainable methodologies into it’s construction.

A few of these would be:

• SIPS, ICF, or SCIPS construction methodologies
• New quality double insulated, gas-filled windows
• Energy- Star rated appliances
• Geo-thermal heating and cooling
• Sustainable interior finishes – no V.O.C. paints, bamboo, cork, marmoleum, FSC- certified wood floors
• Recycled wood
• Recycled construction waste
• Incorporate thermal mass
