As the green building trend
gains momentum, Kohl Building Products is dedicated to helping you
understand the facets of green building in order to accomplish your
goals.
The challenge is to
determine what is the goal in using 'green' products. Step One: Evaluate
materials, do they meet the criteria of the 'green' categories.
- Recycled Content -
Reducing landfill waste
- Energy Efficiency - Low
energy consumption
- Durability/Sustainability
- Life cycle, maintenance impact on environment
- Indoor Environmental
Quality - Healthy, comfortable home
- Material origin,
processing and shipping.
Be advised of 'green
washing'. False statements made about products, manufacturing process or
benefits, claiming to be 'green'.
We link you to the LEED®
and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Green Home
websites for the most comprehensive guidelines to achieve an
environmentally friendly, energy efficient home.
Kohl Building Products will
continue to provide you information on products that help you meet
green criteria required by homeowners..
