Green Building Materials for LEED & Energy Star Certified Home Building and Commercial Structures
As events from the last few years demonstrate in North Eastern America and Canada, homes, buildings and structures that can withstand heat waves, winter cold, intense storms, flooding, drought, and other effects of a changing climate - as well as problems wrought by our fellow humans (like security considerations) - point to the need to promote Green building materials with resilience.
This has been the motivation for improved Building Codes and standards to ensure more sustainable, energy-efficient, comfortable and livable buildings and structures in New York City for example, where in implementing 16 of the 33 recommendations coming out of the Building Resiliency Task Force in 2013, NYC has demonstrated the potential for moving forward quickly with change. 2014 will be the year for other municipalities to make similar progress in specifying resilient green building products and systems.
Core Construction Products LLC have used their experience to choose the best Green Home Building Products for safe, durable and highly insulated concrete construction best adapted for North Eastern America and Canada, and most importantly at the right price.
Green home construction is an important investment, and choosing the right building materials is a Core decision when building a resilient low maintenance structural envelope. Building to the latest Code at a comparable cost to inefficient and structurally inferior wooden stick frame is a wise decision in our opinion.
It's easy to Choose an insulated concrete construction and ensure cost savings and security for the future when Core Construction Products has already done the hard work and found the ideal American made Green Building Materials perfect for the job...
