Green Building
|
“According to Wikipedia, ‘Green building’ (also known as green construction or sustainable
building) is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally
responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: starting
with the site, to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and
deconstruction. This practice expands and complements the classical building design
concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.
Although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices
in creating greener structures, the common objective is that green buildings are
designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and
the natural environment by:
- Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
- Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
- Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation
Stadler Custom Homes is currently certified with Build San Antonio Green ( www.buildsagreen.org ) and recently completed
a Level Two home certification in Stone Creek Ranch. This designation has been given
to only a handful of homes locally. Some of the other green features that Stadler

- Foam Insulation
