Buildings have a profound effect on the environment, which is why green building practices are so important to reduce and perhaps one day eliminate those impacts.

In the United States, buildings account for:
  • between 40 and 49% of total energy use
  • 25% of total water consumption
  • 70% of total electricity consumption
  • 38% of total carbon dioxide emissions
Sustainable walls

Wall selection is a key component of sustainable design. Sustainable walls help reduce heat island effect, provide insulation and natural cooling. Sustainable walls can slow down stormwater runoff, and when properly designed and installed can add value to a house, and reduce energy costs.

Choosing the correct wall system is part of good sustainable design. Homeowners should demand good sustainable wall design, builders should be knowledgeable about them, and architects should include them in every building design.
