Green Building: Jobs of the Future

The Washington State department of Ecology thinks green building equals the jobs of the future. In fact they are the jobs of today, but we need the banks to lend money for those jobs to continue.

Net-Zero

Sustainability is the answer. Building "green" is a hot trend right now as well as energy efficient upgrades. But if you truly want sustainability, building a net-zero house is the way to go. A home that produces more energy than it uses will be popular for years to come. Check out this article from Eco Home Magazine.

Winter Upgrades

With the recent winter storm you may have an idea to upgrade your house to better preform during cold spells and power outages. Contact Smallwood Construction, and we can help turn those ideas into a plan that will keep your house warmer, use less electricity, and possibly keep the lights on when the power goes out.
