The use of terms like “sustainable” and “environmentally friendly” has risen exponentially in the past decade or so. Everyone is looking to go green and reduce their carbon footprint. But what exactly does that mean? How does green remodeling work? Stick with the experts at Blackdog Design/Build/Remodel while we walk you through the basics!
The entire focus of a green remodel is to reduce. Reduce waste, reduce use, minimize negative impacts on the environment by reducing emissions—and to accomplish all of this while still providing you with a home remodel that you love. That’s an important point: A green remodel isn’t about compromise. It’s about finding a better way!
This is accomplished in a variety of ways, the most common of which include:

The change isn’t insignificant, either. Here are just a few green remodeling projects that can boost home energy-efficiency:
Whether you’re talking about ENERGY STAR® certified appliances, LED lights, or low water use plumbing, green technology materials are of the highest quality.
