“Green” is growing. But to us, green building isn’t just about expensive solar panels and geo-thermal; it’s about reusing materials, recycling, craftsmanship and smart choices that save money for the homeowner – both during construction and for years to come. It’s what we’ve been doing all along.
There are plenty of ways to incorporate smart environmental practices into nearly every project. Here are some of the ways Lucid Developments uses green building principles:
- Properly dispose of hazardous materials
- Recycle used carpet
- Recycle metals (aluminum, copper)
- Donate usable items (cabinets, appliances, flooring)
- Selecting local products and companies
- Additional insulation
- Sealed duct-work
- Automated ventilation
- Framing with optimal value engineering
- Radiant heat
- Spray foam insulation
- Utilizing off-peak electricity
- Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF)
- Motion activated lighting
- Refurbish existing materials
- Install EnergyStar appliances
