Green Building
     
   
   
   
 

Habitat has a long-standing background in "Green Building". We aided the Governor's Office of Energy Conservation in implementation of its Green Builder Program, the creation of Energy Rated Homes of Colorado and the now federally sponsored E-Star Homes Program.

For over twenty years, we have pioneered new technologies and energy-efficient construction in Colorado, including the frost-protected shallow foundation, cellulose insulation, airtight building envelopes and guaranteed heating costs.

Not only have we field-tested the ideas of many of our nation's leading "green" proponents, but we have evaluated the cost-efficiencies of these ideas and shared our insights at national gatherings of the Energy Efficient Building Association, with whose membership we remain in close contact.

Green Building is largely about how well and how long buildings perform: design efficiency and durability.
