EcoBuilding  
Our goal at Northland Construction is to promote environmentally-friendly building methods and practices to give you years of long-lasting benefits. For example, too much moisture in a home can result in mold and mildew, which can lead to health problems. Because our homes have proper air sealing, moisture is controlled and you see greater comfort in indoor air quality.  
 
Even within a tight budget, many green building measures can be incorporated with minimal or zero increased up-front costs and they can yield enormous savings over time. Whenever possible, our building practices include:  

 

Energy and water efficiencies
Geothermal heating that can pay for itself over time
Dual fuel heat pump systems
Energy Star rated appliances
Natural and low toxicity materials
Recycled materials
Carpet recycling
Job-site recycling of construction materials
High-efficiency lighting systems with advanced lighting controls
Natural drainage
Low-E windows
Extra insulated R50 ceilings (minimum)
Extra insulated R21 walls (minimum)
Insulated concrete form construction
