Green

Green or “sustainable building” is the design, construction, and operation of buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable, and healthy places to live and work.

According to the EPA, buildings account for:

39% of total energy use
12% of total water consumption
68% of total electricity consumption
38% of carbon dioxide emissions

Black River Builders looks for innovative ways to serve our clients as Green continues to gain more attention.

The client-centered approach to green building is the key to initiate ideas and cost-effective decision-making.

From combining environmentally-friendly systems and materials into the project design, to achieving LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification, we have the resources support these results.

We collaborate during the design phase to incorporate “Green” elements.

With a small increase in cost comes improved long-term cost-efficiency and lowered maintenance costs.
