The Green Key "Green" Philosophy |
|
| |
Sifting through the immense amount of information concerning "green" building principles, energy efficiencies, sustainable design and related environmental issues can be a confusing and daunting task. After careful consideration, we at Green Key have developed a simple and comprehensive approach for implementing these standards in our projects that target the reduction of operating and maintenance costs of the home in conjunction with improving the overall quality of life for our clients. The main components of these standards are: |
 |
 |
| Energy-efficient appliances not only help to reduce your monthly energy bill but are also "green" when it comes to the environment. |
|
|
|
|
| |
• |
Improve indoor air quality by enhancing ventilation and air filtration, reducing the amount of toxic elements in the home environment. Provide information to homeowners and caregivers in the day-to-day practices of maintaining a healthy home. |
|
| |
• |
Create sightlines to the outdoors from rooms that are frequently used. Design and implement lighting strategies that blend different types of lighting for different purposes in conjunction with installing lighting controls that save energy and are user friendly. |
|
| |
• |
Reduce air leakage, upgrade insulation, replace inefficient heating and cooling systems, appliances and windows that can make a significant difference in lowering the month to month operating costs of your home. |
|
| |
• |
Implement a customized regular maintenance program for your home that can minimize the chances of costly emergency repairs and replacements in the future. After an initial assessment of your home, recommendations are provided to you regarding the costs and timetable of imminent repairs that have been observed. We then design a regularly scheduled maintenance program for your home to provide you with a higher degree of safety and peace of mind. |
|
|
| |
We at Green Key wholly embrace the basic principles of creating energy efficiencies and practicing sustainability as keys to maintaining a healthy and habitable environment. Although there are hundreds of products and services that claim to focus on these principles, we feel that creating a healthy, friendly and safe home is one of the most important goals and responsibilities of any enterprise that claims to "improve" your home. |
|
|
| |
Increase your energy efficiency to promote good health, adequate safety, sound finances, a clean environment and a better future! |
