Green Building Policy

As Crevelon Construction has grown, we have become ever more
mindful of the importance of respect for efficient and effective design
and construction. We believe that it is possible for a construction firm
to make a difference in our environment by building with green products,
policies and the promotion of resource conservation.
Save Money
Green Building products and construction practices can lower water
and energy bills, reduce maintenance costs and require less frequent
replacement.
Live More Comfortably
With good energy design, proper insulation and efficient heating and
cooling systems, Green Building helps to insure that your home is more
comfortable.
Healthier Indoor Environment
Green Building encourages the use of materials, paints and finishes
that eliminate many sources of indoor air pollution.
Less Maintenance and Higher Durability
Green Building guidelines go beyond your local building codes to
recommend methods and premium materials that result in more durable
homes that require less upkeep.
Good for the Environment
Conventional building construction and operation needlessly consume
large quantities of wood, water, fuel and other materials. A green built
home conserves these natural resources.
Use-Energy Wisely
New houses in California must be built to the most stringent energy
code in the country, but given the state's population growth, even
this may not be enough to keep demand in check. Generation and use of
energy are major contributors to air pollution and global climate
change. With homes accounting for roughly 31% of the energy consumed in
the state, it is clear that homebuilders have a significant role to play
in helping our society address energy-related concerns now and in the
coming decades.
