The article read, “ Urban Infill Project Embraces Green Building Guidelines.” http://www.wncgbc.org/healthybuilt/
“Interesting,” my client mused. “What are they talking about? What is an urban infill project? And what is meant by “Green Building Guidelines”? To which I responded, tongue-in-cheek, “ Read My Links!”
GREEN, both the concept and application of standards of excellence, is in high demand, especially right here in Asheville, N.C. Who doesn’t desire quality and a home that is going to last a very long time and perform well? But, as advertisers catch on, there’s also small-case green, or “greenwashing” …. So, please do read my links for research to discover the benefits of True Green.
So what is True Green? One of the most efficient ways to describe True Green and the accompanying benefits is via the WNC HealthyBuilt® Home program. http://www.wncgbc.org/healthybuilt/benefits.php
At this link you will find a checklist of True Green Requirements. You can see that this program encompasses all aspects of environmental design and construction including: site and landscape, materials, indoor air quality, heating and cooling systems, the building envelope, and water efficiency. I especially like the idea, as expressed here, that an objective third party is required to check on and make sure buildings pass the WNC HealthyBuilt® inspection at various phases of building process. This tells me that we are looking at True Green possibilities.
