The SunBuilt Program is an incentive-based solar program, designed to give builders
and potential clients the opportunity to interact with solar water heating technologies. To
do this, we grant participating builders with either solar water heating rebates
or system vouchers to reduce the initial purchase cost of the solar systems. The
program was developed as a joint effort between the Florida Solar Energy Research
and Education Foundation and the Florida Home Builders Association, under the
direction of the Florida Energy Office. To date, over 50 builders have
signed on as Gold Builders (all homes equipped with solar water heaters) or Silver
Builders (all customers provided solar water heating as an option). The
Federal Tax Credits for Builders and Homeowners provide even more incentives
to go solar.

Headwaters Resources has steadily increased the amount of
coal combustion products that are recovered for productive
uses. Coal combustion products become ingredients in
concrete, wallboard, mortars, stuccos, blocks, bricks, shingles,
paints and a variety of other building materials. They
are also used to stabilize soils, neutralize brown field
wastes, and can be used as structural fill or road base materials. Because
fly ash use displaces cement use, it also reduces the need
for cement production – a major energy user and source
of "greenhouse gas" emissions. For every ton of cement
manufactured, about 6.5 million BTUs of energy are consumed.
For every ton of cement manufactured, about one ton of carbon
dioxide is released. Replacing that ton of cement with
fly ash would save enough electricity to power the average
American home for 24 days, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions
equal to two months use of an automobile.

The Environments For Living® program uses the principles
of building science to help builders construct homes that
are more energy efficient, comfortable, durable, healthier
and safer than homes that do not include the program requirements. The
program establishes requirements for tight construction,
fresh air ventilation, improved thermal systems, right-sized
HVAC equipment, balanced air pressure, internal moisture
management and combustion safety. A plan review is
conducted for each new model to help builders determine the
steps required to meet the program specifications. The
program is performance-based and does not require builders
to use a particular manufacturer's product. Homes are
evaluated through random testing by trained and certified
contractors. At all levels of the program, homes are
issued guarantees on heating and cooling energy-use. Gold
and Platinum homes are issued a comfort guarantee*.

The buildings in which we live,
work and play protect us from Nature's extremes:
cold, heat, wind, rain and snow. Constructing and
operating buildings require enormous amounts of
energy, water and materials and creates large amounts
of waste. Where and how they are built affects
the ecosystems around each building in countless
ways.
And the buildings themselves create new indoor
environments that present new environmental problems
and challenges. As the environmental impact of
building becomes more apparent, a new field call
Green Building is
arising to reduce that impact at the source. Green
or sustainable building is the practice of creating
healthier and
more resource-efficient models of construction,
renovation, operation, maintenance, and demolition. Green
Building Consulting is highly beneficial to
anyone interested in learning and achieving a greener
standard of living.
