US EPA ranks indoor air pollution among
top five environmental risks. Unhealthy air is found in up
to 30% of new and renovated buildings. |
Green
building design and construction provides the opportunity to use
resources/energy more efficiently while creating a healthier living
environment for our families and communities. Green
design involves finding the delicate balance between homebuilding
and the sustainable environment.
With
WERC, green construction methods can be integrated into buildings
at any stage, from design and construction, to renovation and deconstruction.
However, the most significant benefits can be obtained if the design
and construction team takes an integrated approach from the earliest
stages of a building project.
