Project Managers Consider Going Green for Future Projects

Posted on March 29, 2019

As residential and commercial owners are looking to lower their energy costs and improve their impact on the environment, project managers are considering going green for future projects. This is a practical response to keep up with the demand of consumers while conserving natural resources and minimizing the impact on the environment at the same time.

Here are 5 ways that project managers are going green:

  1. Energy Efficient Improvements: Project managers are installing high levels of insulation, high-performance windows, energy efficient lighting and appliances, and efficient HVAC systems. This will save owners quite a bit of money on their energy bills while keeping the indoor temperature comfortable at any time of the year.
  2. Water Conservation Improvements: Improving water conservation is necessary for green projects, which is why project managers are installing water efficient appliances, filtration systems, water conserving fixtures, and low maintenance landscaping.
  3. Resource Conservation: Instead of using materials that cannot be quickly replaced, many project managers are choosing to use materials that are sustainable or recycled. These materials include high performance engineered wood, wood alternatives, sustainably harvested lumber, and products that are more durable.
  4. Improved Indoor Environmental Quality: Keeping the interior of buildings safe for people is important, which is why it is necessary to use formaldehyde-free finishes and products that emit low gas or low volatile organic compounds. An effective HVAC system will help keep the air quality inside the building clean as well.
  5. Excellent Site Design: A green building design will minimize the disruption of the outdoor space and preserve some open space in the surrounding area.

Many people are interested in going green as it is a wonderful way to improve how we use our natural resources and conserve them for future generations. Natural products are also safer to use, which is helpful when they are used indoors where people will no longer need to be concerned about breathing in toxic fumes.

Everyone will love the savings that they will see in the future once they move into their new green building, as their utility costs will be much lower from all the energy efficient products that are used during the building process.
