GREEN BUILDING IS THE PRACTICE OF INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY WITH WHICH BUILDINGS USE RESOURCES -- ENERGY, WATER, AND MATERIALS while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment, through better siting, design, construction, operation and maintenance – the complete building life cycle.
Sierra Foothills Construction Company has been dedicated to Green Building for many years. Having a LEED® Accredited Professional on our staff offers our customers the benefit of design and construction of sustainable buildings that integrate environmental benefits, long-term cost efficiencies and employee productivity.
Our dedication to Green Building has reduced operating costs by increasing productivity and using less energy and water, improved public and occupant health due to improved indoor air quality, and reduced environmental impacts by, for example, lessening storm water runoff. We seek to not only achieve ecological but aesthetic harmony between a structure and its surrounding natural and built environment, although the appearance and style of our sustainable buildings is not necessarily distinguishable from other less sustainable counterparts.
