A True Green Home
A true green home constructed by Asheville's Smart Builders is built with environmentally friendly materials and uses energy and water more efficiently than traditionally built structures through better site planning, design, construction, material selection, operation, and maintenance. Green built homes have a positive impact on human health by reducing the level of Indoor Air Pollutants and on the environment by reducing the consumption of natural resources and the Outdoor Air Pollution resulting from energy consumption.

US EPA ranks indoor air pollution among top five environmental risks. Unhealthy air is found in up to 30% of new and renovated buildings.
What is Green?
Asheville's Smart Builders believe Green is a combination of three main factors: Energy Efficiency, Sustainability, & Healthiness.
Energy Efficiency
Will the construction method and materials used, produce the most energy efficient structure possible?
Sustainability
Can we continue to use the resource without depleting it - is the resource renewable? Also, will it last, or need to be replaced too soon?
Healthy
Does the use, production, or installation of the material affect our health in a negative way?
