Why build sustainably? It’s a great question, and an important one. Construction and buildings make up a surprisingly large chunk of global emissions and resource use. That impact isn’t just from the building stage, either. Homes continue to consume energy and resources for decades after they’re built. So choosing to build sustainably isn’t a niche or trendy idea anymore, it’s simply smart, both for your home and the planet.
