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
• Radon venting
