Building your future...GREEN!

Why Green?

The lighting, heating, air-conditioning, and ventilation systems of structures collectively consume an estimated 70 percent of the United States's electricity and account for almost half of its carbon dioxide emissions. Globally, building construction uses millions of tons of energy-intensive-materials, including concrete, steel, and lumber.
 
"If we have to build, then we should make a special effort to make the buildings as substainable as possible." - Cesar Peli, World Renown Architect

Marin County Builders wants to be part of the solution, not the problem.
We offer homeowners the opportunity for a safe, healthy, energy efficient, environmentally friendly residence at a net cost similar to any other superior, high-quality construction.

Green Built homes prevent moisture, mold and radon. Proper air sealing keep this deadly gas from migrating between the house and attached garage. Closed combustion heating and water heating systems reduce the potential for carbon monoxide pollution inside the home. Your home is safer, cleaner, and you save money.
Green Built homes are designed to provide improved indoor air quality. This is accomplished by the selection of building materials to include low chemical content and by the use of mechanical ventilation systems. Our indoor air quality has become a potential health risk for our families, so building Greener is a healthier way to build.
Energy efficiency is the cornerstone of all Green Built homes. Reduced energy use reduces impact on family budgets by reducing monthly out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, reduced energy use results in lower pollution levels. Strong insulation, the use of panelized systems, and cutting edge window technology all add up to an energy efficient home.
Green Built homes are designed to use less material resources, reducing the impact on our environment. Limiting and reducing construction waste help reduce costs and impact of overloaded landfills. Regional and product selection reduces transportation pollution. Employing Low Impact Development (LID) practices during development and placement of the home on the lot makes a big difference to our local watersheds. Recycled products, green spaces, Rain Gardens, and native landscaping all help improve our environment.
