Moore Construction Custom Homes

Josh Moore Construction Inc. is a certified green builder through Build it Green. This means that we use green practices depending on the clients needs. There are many things we do that cost the client little or nothing to make their home Green. Green buildings are sited, designed, constructed, and operated to enhance the well-being of their occupants and support a healthy community and natural environment.
In practical terms, green building is a “whole-systems” approach to building that includes:

Designing for livable communities
Using sun and site to the building's advantage for natural heating, cooling, and day lighting
Landscaping <http://www.builditgreen.org/guidelines/landscape> with native, drought-resistant plants and water-efficient practices
Building quality, durable structures
Reducing and recycling construction and demolition waste
Insulating well and ventilating appropriately
Incorporating durable <http://www.builditgreen.org/accessgreen/conserves-resources> , salvaged, recycled <http://www.builditgreen.org/accessgreen/salvaged-recycled> , and sustainably harvested <http://www.builditgreen.org/accessgreen/conserves-resources> materials
Using healthy products <http://www.builditgreen.org/accessgreen/safe-healthy-environment> and building practices
Using energy-efficient and water-saving <http://www.builditgreen.org/accessgreen/saves-energy-or-water> appliances, fixtures and technologies

When implemented holistically, these strategies serve to preserve our environment for future generations by conserving natural resources and protecting air and water quality. They provide benefits for us today by increasing comfort and well-being and helping to maintain healthy air quality. Finally, green building strategies are good for everyone's pocketbook by reducing maintenance and replacement requirements, reducing utility bills and lowering the cost of home ownership, and increasing property and resale values.

We look at the project and suggest ways that we can make it better in five different categories.

Energy Efficiency
Resource Conservation
Indoor Air Quality
Water Conservation
Community

These categories are used in the GreenPoint rating system.
