Remodeling Projects Go Green

The American Society of Interior Designers Foundation and the U.S. Green Building Council launched the nation’s first green residential remodeling guidelines.

The REGREEN Guidelines provide resources and tools to make home remodeling projects more environmentally friendly and energy efficient. The guidelines are organized into the 10 most common remodeling projects.
“Consumers overwhelmingly want greener homes, and the REGREEN Guidelines will help by showing them how,” Michelle Moore, senior vice president of the U.S. Green Building Council, said in a public statement. “The REGREEN Guidelines empower people with practical information about how to green projects ranging from kitchen and bath renovations to deep energy upgrades.”

The REGREEN guidelines include the major elements of any green renovation project, such as the site of the home, water efficiency, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.

“You can start greening your home without spending a lot of money just by getting informed,” Moore said. “Weatherization projects can save energy and lower your utility bills, which also reduce your Carbon footprint. Similarly, choosing low-VOC paints, flooring, and adhesives eliminates bad-smelling toxins and creates a healthier home.”

To access the guidelines visit www.regreenprogram.org or www.thegreenhomeguide.org.

See what our clients are saying!

Still LOVE my home – thank you!!

Lynn B. Ballwin, Missouri

Thanks Jim. I was prepared for a miserable experience. You took the worry and tension out of selling.

John Walsh Seattle, Washington

We had the best experience during the purchase of our first home with Jim. We love it. One of my best friends is a Realtor and I have already told her that when I move, Jim Hurley is the one I work with.

James Fagan Ballwin, Missouri

It was our first home and we spend several months looking. Jim never lost patience. He spent hours educating us and helping us through the process. He’s always smiling and positive…. Linda and Steve Green St. Peters, Missouri

Linda and Steve Green St. Peters, Missouri

I wasn’t really considering buying a new home but one I had looked at before we bought the last one, which I loved, came on the market. I called Jim and we moved 45 days later with no problems. He really cares about the people involved in the process.
