We have joined Green Built Home™ – a national award-winning green built initiative that reviews and certifies that our remodeling projects meet sustainable construction, design, and operation of green buildings and energy standards. Green is in high demand. Homeowners today face rising energy prices and indoor health hazards and lives with the pressing fear of global warming. The Environmental Protection agency (EPA) warns about the health effects of poor indoor air quality from the off-gases of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).Manufacturers have responded with some environmentally-friendly innovations that reduce off-gassing in materials such as insulation, paints, stains, carpeting, flooring and countertops. The idea behind green building is to increase the buildings efficiency and their use of resources like energy, water, and building materials to protect human health and the environment. Knutson Bros. II is proud to be part of the Green Built Home program. You can learn more about this program at www.greenbuilthome.org.
