Benefits of Green Building

You can't tell a green home by its looks, until you look at its utility bills! Green homes provide owners with lower energy costs, lower maintenance, better indoor air quality, and better resource usage.

Scott Dickson is the very first Certified Green Professional (CGP) builder in Northeast Louisiana. This designation is bestowed by the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders). It certifies builders who incorporate green building principles into new homes, additions, and remodeling without driving up the cost of construction.

Green building uses resources more efficiently, and results in a home that does the same throughout its life. Careful use of design and materials also helps protect occupants from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carcinogens, dust, and biological contaminants.

A green home may look just like a normal home, but you'll notice the improved comfort, safety, and wise use of resources for years to come.
