Construction techniques can be natural resources intensive and can generate a lot of waste. Charles Schulz Building Company is taking steps to create buildings that are safe and healthy for people and that protect our environment. While specific methods and products may vary from project to project, the basic principles of green building apply to all types of new construction and renovation. We think of green building as the convergence of three goals:

1. Conserve natural resources
2. Increase energy efficiency
3. Improve indoor air quality

What are the benefits of green building? In essence, building green means improving our design and construction practices so the buildings we renovate and build today will last longer and cost less to operate, and won’t harm people or the Earth.
