Our green building consultants work with new construction design teams throughout project development to make the process of constructing sustainable, healthy homes as seamless as possible. By providing on-going support and innovative product and building practice recommendations based on a high level of research and analysis, we allow builders and architects the time to do what they do best: plan, design and build.

Our green building services include:

Builder & Architect Support

We work directly with your general contractor and architect to develop strategies that increase building value, decrease utility expense, maximize resources and minimize environmental impact. We conduct a design team project initiation meeting to establish green building objectives and to review green building strategies and products. We meet on site monthly with your general contractor and/or architect throughout the project to follow-up with green building achievements; plan for future implementation; and to answer questions and provide green product recommendations. We serve as the go-to green construction advisors.

Green Building Planning & Verification

After establishing project goals, we employ the expertise of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED® AP), Brycelaine Self, to author a Green Program Work Plan. Whether you choose to have your home certified as ENERGY STAR®, Built Green™, and/or LEED®, or simply would like Eco-innovations to provide green building strategies and product recommendations without a rating system, the Green Program Work Plan is designed to be used as a customized green construction guide. It outlines the recommended green construction practices and products for the project.

Product Recommendations

From insulation to water heating systems, we provide product recommendations to project teams with the following in mind: innovation, environmental impact, efficiency, toxicity, lifecycle cost and purchase price. Our goal is to provide you with various options so you can choose the best product according to your project goals and budget.

We are the creators of Eco-rate, a comprehensive product and technology comparison resource that evaluates product performance in terms of efficiency, environmental impact, human health and financial feasibility.  Eco-rate’s platform for rating products is where our model  of providing product recommendations stems from.

Our recommendations are also made in accordance with the aforementioned green building rating system requirements, should you choose to participate in one or more of these programs.
