Asheville, NC, where I live, is becoming more and more green and organic. It's a fantastic place to live as it's great to live among people who honestly care about our environment and our effect on the world.

In most areas it's easy to find a 'Hippy' population, however, Asheville's environmentally conscious population is as diverse in tax bracket as they are in looks. For those who want to live off the grid there is ever expanding areas for co-ops and land shares. It's incredible to see families come together to raise their children and grow nourishing organic foods. The children grow up aware of the consequences their choices in food and transportation have on the world and future generations.

For those who want to lessen their carbon footprint and do their part, an option is green building.

Preish Construction, Inc. is and Asheville green building company offering eco-friendly options for inside and out:

"We take personal responsibility to to make sure we provide a positive, satisfying home-building experience while giving you the best value for your dollar. Quality construction, attention to detail, and frequent personal contact with the homeowners through all stages of the project have created a building business driven by satisfied customers."

Green building starts with your architect and should carry on through your painters. Understanding all of the steps can be complicated but a company like Preish Construction can illustrate how each choice you make is important.

Consider the options in each area:

Smart Design
Choose an architect who is familiar with green building and cares about his community and world

Foundation
Utilize green construction techniques with regard to the foundation of your home. ie, poured, insulated concrete walls, and sealed, conditioned crawlspaces.

Framing Techniques
An option for framing is to use structured insulated panels (SIP�s) in your home, dramatically bettering the efficiency of the home while creating the tightest possible building envelope.

Insulation
Sealing the thermal envelope with good insulation is key to building an efficient home today.

Paint
In green homes it is best to use low, or zero-VOC paints. VOC�s are volatile organic compounds, and are noticeable by the smell, or off-gas, they produce. By reducing the amount of VOC�s in a house, you enhance your green home and protect our environment.
