A & D Builders, andbuilders uses the most environmental friendly products available, and better working practices.
Our walls are properly insulated, our windows are dual glazed, lor R glass windows and doors, we use on demand water heaters that save you space and save energy. Our Foundations and concrete work, A & D Builders recommends the use of a concrete with a higher content of ash, because by doing so, we are reusing and lowering the Concrete carbon footprint in the process of building your project.
We use engineered lumber as well as other environmentally friendly materials such as, but not limited to recycled lumber, vegetable and organic oil based foam insulation, instant hot water systems, low solar gain windows, water runoff containment, as well as design principles that will enhance your lot or home solar orientation, natural air and light circulation as well as to integrating the structure envelope to a harmonious lanscape
LEED Certification and Construction
Innovation in the design process. Integrated design planning.
Infrastructure location
Sustainable sites. Landscaping
Surface management
Water Efficiency re-use, infiltration, Irrigation systems, water consumption, Gray water systems
Energy efficiency. Utilization of on demand water heaters, sealing tight weathering the outside envelope, Utilization of Biodegradable insulation soy or cotton based insulators. Pushing the envelope by installing less than 18 sheer AC systems. Energy efficient systems.
Materials. Utilizing certified renewable products during construction as well as metal studs, efficient floor heating systems, cool roofs, as well as environmentally safe products.
By minimizing waste we also increase our LEED points. Think about re-utilization of existing building assets.
Indoor quality provided by proper air circulation, maximizing the indoor outdoor light exchange, increasing the air quality. Utilizing green paints and carpets or finishing products.
We use only high rated insulated windows and doors where the Solar gain coefficient is high.
On demand Water heating systems where the distribution pipe are insulated, from the source to the water conserving fixtures.
Our lighting systems are energy compliance.
Building green for us simply means achieving high levels of performance and resource efficiency.
