Green Building
Greenmodeling wants to help you build a healthy, comfortable and energy efficient home. We can be your builder, or work with a builder of your preference to achieve this. There are many green building concepts and applications that, unfortunately, most builders are simply not aware of. Many of the standard practices are actually opposed to these concepts and it is important to choose a builder who understands sustainable building practices. We have trained and certified staff who have received, and continue to undergo, extensive training in sustainable building science.

Third-Party Inspection and HERS
Inspections and testing to ensure that your home meets the standard of quality you expect is important to ensuring that your green aspirations become reality. Greenmodeling can perform tests and checks to make sure that crucial building phases are performed properly. This is usually done through the Home Energy Rating Systems' (HERS) protocol. HERS testing is often a prerequisite for many green building programs. Whether or not you decide to pursue these program certifications, our third-party inspection will make sure that you have a well built home for the sake of your comfort, safety and peace-of-mind.
