Better Air Quality in Your Home...One Meaning of GREEN

There's no doubt that you'll be hearing more and more about Green from now on...Green Living, Green Building, Going Green. "Green" is a blanket term incorporating several practices that are aimed at making our environment healthier - from a more responsible, sustainable use of our natural resources and a reduction of waste, to a less toxic atmosphere both outdoors and in.

"Green" can directly impact our health as we reduce the pollution we come into contact with. One method of doing this is improving the air inside those boxes we call homes. Did you know that indoor air can be 4-5 times more polluted than the air outside?

Current air-improving Green Building practices may include:

• Using low-VOC materials, such as paints and carpeting, that don't offgas great amounts of volatile organic compounds into the air.
• Installing direct-vent fireplaces and furnaces which are designed to give off heat without affecting indoor air quality.
• Installing timered fans to remove excess moisture - discouraging mold growth and effortlessly saving on energy.
• Installing an exhaust fan in the garage to remove automobile and other fumes and discourage them from entering the home.
• Making use of a radon reduction system that encourages this radioactive gas to bypass the inside of your home.
