Energy- and water-efficient features mean you can save money each month on operating costs.<\/li>\n<li>Healthier and more comfortable. Less toxic materials, well-designed ventilation, and efficient heating and cooling with a tightly sealed, well-insulated building envelope can mean you will breathe fresher air and have fewer drafts.<\/li>\n<li>More durable and lower maintenance. Careful selection of a building&#8217;s materials, its design, and its placement on its site can mean fewer replacement costs and effort.<\/li>\n<li>A smart investment.

In addition, many green building practices can actually reduce your costs by reducing waste and encouraging efficiency. Many builders find that the quality products and practices they currently use qualify their projects for Built Green certification with little if any modification. At heart, Built Green means quality: for example, it doesn&#8217;t cost more to pay for insulation and duct sealing done correctly.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Myth #2:\u00a0 \u00a0I already selected some green aspects I don&#8217;t need the label.<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>The Truth: With the number of green claims being made in marketing and advertising these days, certification shows that standards have been met.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Myth #3:\u00a0 Certification is expensive.<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>The Truth: Built Green programs were developed by builders, so costs were kept affordable. The steps we take to certify your project may also qualify you for incentives that far outweigh the costs of certification, including utility rebates and federal tax credits.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-54kg4t-f105dcd7603fbf48a40ef9173051068c\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-54kg4t-f105dcd7603fbf48a40ef9173051068c{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-54kg4t-f105dcd7603fbf48a40ef9173051068c .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-54kg4t-f105dcd7603fbf48a40ef9173051068c .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-54kg4t-f105dcd7603fbf48a40ef9173051068c av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Some useful links<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-32izcd-3737dad2092d643d238a6651c8db8bd3 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.builtgreenwhatcom.org\/\">Built Green of Whatcom County<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.builtgreenwashington.org\/\">Built Green Washington<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3373","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Advantages of a Built Green Home - Credo Construction<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Built Green is an environmental building program proven to provide you with a healthier, more efficient house.
