Toward Sustainability & Green Building

Posted on February 24, 2009

Matt here! Thank you for visiting my blog.

As many of you know, Paragon Building Artisans is making bold moves toward sustainability and green building. Our goal is to be 50% green by June of 2009. This requires lots and lots of studying on my part. There’s so much to learn out there, and yet, there’s still so much that is unknown.

I’m taking my LEED Professional Accreditation test on March __ so wish me luck. When I pass, this means that I have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles governed by the Green Building Certification Institute.

Right now, Paragon is working on a commisioned coffee table made from recycled material and a 8 story hallway renovation using low VOC paint, carpet and wallpaper, ceramic stone and Energy Star lighting fixtures.
