Green Building Materials for LEED & Energy Star Certified Home Building and Commercial Structures in Colorado & Western USA
As events from the last few years demonstrate in North America, homes, buildings and structures that can withstand fires, extreme cold and heat, flooding, drought, intense storms and other effects of a changing climate - as well as problems brought by our fellow human neighbours (like security or noise nuisance) - highlight the need to promote resilient and sustainable Green building materials.
This has provided the motivation for new Building Codes to ensure safer, sustainable, energy-efficient, and comfortable buildings and structures in New York City for example, where in implementing 16 of the 33 recommendations coming out of the Building Resiliency Task Force in 2013, NYC has demonstrated the potential for moving forward quickly with change. Other western municipalities will surely make similar progress in specifying resilient green building products and systems.
Core Construction Products West LLC have used their experience to choose the best Green Home Building Products for safe, durable and highly insulated concrete construction best adapted for Western US, and most importantly at the right price.
Green Building is an investment for the future, so choosing the right green building materials is a Core decision when building a sustainable and resilient structural envelope. Building to the latest Code at the same or lower cost than old-fashioned and inefficient wooden stick frame is a wise decision in our opinion.
