Built Green by Design
New homes built by British Pacific Homes will be constructed according to the sustainable building practices of the Built Green™ program, owned and managed by Built Green™ Canada.
Built Green is an independent non-profit organization that provides construction guidelines and criteria for homes that deliver better:
Better energy efficiency means long term savings for the homeowner. Healthier indoor air means comfort, better health and peace of mind for the family. Durable reduced-maintenance building materials mean a longer life for the home. Preserving natural resources means leaving more for future generations to enjoy.
Building a Built Green™ home not only results in such direct benefits to the owners; there are also benefits to the community and the environment in general. For example, the use of local materials is given priority, thereby reducing transportation costs and stimulating the local economy. Also, selecting materials and products made from recycled content reduces the energy consumption required to extract new materials.
