Creating environmentally friendly homes and communities.
Coolman Built homes are NAHB Green certified. A green home incorporates energy and water efficient products and practices; is constructed with renewable, recycled and/or more durable materials; and is designed for improved indoor air quality. Green building is a practical response to a variety of issues that affect all of us – including increasing energy prices, waning water resources, and changing weather patterns. Potential benefits can include lower operating costs, reduced maintenance, and lifestyle and health improvements. The renewable, recycled and more efficient building products used in green home construction can help to reduce a home’s impact on the environment and natural resources.
NAHB Green is a certification program from the National Association of Home Builders that allows home buyers to easily locate homes that have been built to nationally recognized green building criteria. NAHB Green certified homes are inspected by trained experts and have the backing of an accredited certification agent, the NAHB Research Center. NAHB Green certification means, for example, that a bronze-level green home in Seattle is at least as energy efficient as a bronze home in Savannah and a bronze home in St. Louis. It doesn’t mean that they have the same features or that they even look the same. It does mean that they all meet a minimum, nationally recognized level of performance.
