Home Building Solutions -
It
would be easy to keep building
homes using the same technology that
has been used in decades past, but
with so many new and innovative advances,
why would we? From the heating and
air conditioning systems to the light
fixtures we use, our goal is to put
into practice the most cost-efficient and environmentally friendly green home building technology
available today.
Robert
Lord Builders is an ENERGY
STAR partner and is dedicated
to building homes that are as environmentally
friendly as possible. Due to savvy
construction and the broad range
of “green” materials
and appliances available, homeowners
will use far fewer resources and
contribute to a cleaner living
environment than those living in
homes using old technology—the “energy
nightmares” with inadequate
insulation, power-consuming appliances,and
antiquated  materials.
Today,
with rising fuel costs and mounting
concerns about the environment,
Robert Lord Builders is taking
a pro-active interest in creating
environmentally sustainable homes.
We have provided information on
the newest trends in home energy
technology and we invite you to
take a look at the latest ways
to keep your home comfortable,
keep your energy costs to a minimum,
and keep the environment as clean
as possible. Furthermore, all of
the energy saving measures we take
when building a home are subject
to tax credits and incentives.
Much
National publicity has surrounded
commerical building due to the
US Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) rating system for commerical
buildings. Because of this publicity
green building techniques and materials
have captured the attention of
residential homebuilders and homeowners
alike.
The
National Association of
Home Builders (NAHB) has divided the green construction process into eight categories;
- Lot
Design, Preparation and Development
