Eco Friendly Building Projects and What They Might Entail

Eco-friendly Denver construction projects are not necessarily new anymore. With rapidly shifting trends focusing more than ever on the fight against global warming and an increase in smart, energy-efficient building, the projects of today feature green construction trends, materials and installations to a greater extent than ever before:

 

• If you’re interested in helping the environment while also improving the energy efficiency of your building, then it’s important to add heating and cooling systems that will work for those goals. HVAC systems based on electricity that are clean and compliant with the latest green standards are one way of getting the job done.
• Another solution is to add materials and products that insulate the building better. Advanced, thicker insulation, windows made from sturdy, weatherproof materials and flooring materials with good insulating capabilities all fall under this category.
• Some type of green roofing is typically added into the mix as well. While it’s not necessarily required, green roofing involving vegetation growing on top of the roof, as well as solar panel roofs and cool roofs designed for warmer weather can all be used in Colorado, and developers are often encouraged by city officials to add them to their buildings.
• Finally, many eco-friendly building projects also include smart thermostats and devices that are designed to minimize electric consumption and the use of other resources, and maximize energy efficiency throughout the building.
