PROUD MEMBER OF
Going Green without the Greenbacks
SAVING A HOME ANDSAVING THE PLANET
STRIKING A BALANCE
BETWEEN A HOMEOWNER’S BUDGET AND Green Options
GREEN DESIGNMinimizes its impact on the environment through conservation
of energy, water, and other resources, while contributing to the health of its occupants
without compromising the aesthetic design.
Approach a green project with a holistic view
thatsense and cents
see the HOUSE AS A SYSTEM
FOR health and
sustainability

COMPONENTS OF GREEN DESIGN
• Simple steps go a long way toward improving indoor air quality, lowering pollution levels, reducing landfill waste, and saving energy.
• Contrary to popular belief, these steps don't have to be expensive. Many even generate an investment return greater than the monetary value spent on the project.

Insulate and Seal to Improve Energy Efficiency
• Add insulation to block heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer
• R-38 IS RECOMMEMDED FOR ATTICS WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT 10-14”
• CHECK WITH PSE OR YOUR LOCAL POWER COMPANY REGARDING REBATES FOR INSULATION
• Seal air leaks throughout to block drafts, insects and critters
TEAR OUT REVEALS NO INSULATION and unsealed gaps
An Easy SOLUTION TO GAINING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS TO ADD
INSULATIONSome Insulation was in the
CEILING AND FLOORS BUT None in THE WALLS
Time to correct Under-structured construction that is common in Post
WW2 housing due to shortages of material at the time

• has aids to help you show you where common leaks occur, like this illustration from an EPA pamphlet
• SEALING BENEFITS
lower utility bills reduces noise pollution
reduces pollen and dust
Keeps out insects and critters
