Home Renovations in Ottawa
Green buildings efficiently use resources such as water, land, materials and energy. A rating system, known as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), is a voluntary system for defining what elements make a building green.
“Building Green is not a new thing it is the right thing, and we always strive to use the most environmentally neutral building practices and materials.” says Justin Linden, President of ServiceBlocks Inc. specializing in home renovations in Ottawa, Canada.
Consisting of a clear set of environmental performance criteria organized into six categories, the Canadian version of LEED, which is very similar to the USGBC version, is listed below:
·Sustainable Sites
·Water Efficiency
·Energy and Atmosphere
·Materials & Resources
·Indoor Environmental Quality
·Innovation in Design
