Green
Remodeling and Home Performance With Energy Star
Better Buildings using Common Sense
Energy efficiency and environmental responsibility have always
been important issues at TDS. Our firm is a member of Green
Built Home, an organization which reviews and certifies
projects that meet sustainable building practices and progressive
energy efficiency standards. Several TDS projects have received
Green Built Home certification. We aim to exceed state building
code energy efficiency standards on every project.
Home owners are increasingly concerned with energy efficiency,
health issues, product durability, and environmental conservation.
At TDS we employ a building systems approach to address these
topics. TDS is an active participant in the Home Performance
with Energy Star home evaluation program. You receive an
objective analysis of your home's performance prior to construction
and recommendations to improve air quality, energy efficiency,
and safety. We incorporate the improvements you choose with
the main remodeling work, and a follow-up analysis is done
upon completion. Read this
article on additional reasons
to contact a Home Performance with Energy Star® contractor.
Please call or email us
for a list of green building techniques, products and ideas
for a more energy efficient home.
