“Green Building” or “Green Builder” is hard to define because it is a very general description used to describe various facets of building. 

Green building can be described as:

• Building with energy saving materials and equipment
• Building with renewable materials to save natural resources
• Building with equipment that will produce the energy used in the building
• Building methods that preserve the natural features of the land
• Placing the home on the lot to take advantage of sunlight
• Designing floor plans with efficient layouts to reduce square footage
• Planning neighborhoods that make transportation efficient to reduce traffic and travel

 Here is our approach to Green building:

• Build well insulated homes with energy efficient windows, heating systems and appliances
• Design efficient floor plans to standard material dimensions to reduce wasted materials
• Place the home on the lot to preserve the natural features of the property and take advantage of natural sunlight for passive solar benefits
• Work with the owner to add any energy saving components they want
• Work with the owner to add any components that will allow the addition of other energy saving equipment in the future as their budget allows
• Help our customers evaluate the return on investment for the cost of energy saving components

 At Alliance Builders Inc., we look at all of the above with a common sense approach.  We can provide any of the energy saving construction methods like Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) or Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF).  Alliance Builders Inc. can also provide any of the equipment systems that can provide energy savings like solar photovoltaic, solar domestic heating and cooling, geothermal heating and cooling, and passive solar design.  We strive to help our customers through the process of choosing the best green building components to include in their home.
