Why Go Green?
Q: What percentage of a building’s total cost over its entire lifespan (typically 100 years) involves actual construction costs?
A: Only 10% involves construction, whereas nearly 90% of a building’s cost goes toward energy consumption over its expected lifespan. So Go Green Turtles asks the question…..where should you put your money? It pays to invest in energy-efficient new buildings – and to make existing structures as efficient as possible.
Q: On an entire building or structure, where is most of your heat load?
A: The roof holds 65% of the heat load.
Q: Will an energy-efficient building make people feel more comfortable?
A: YES! An energy-efficient, properly insulated building will make people feel more comfortable. Why? Because we can control the air quality (pollens, pollutants, bacteria, moisture, fresh air) easier.
True or False? You can build an energy-efficient building that can save more than 50% on energy costs while costing less than 10% more to construct.
True! Here at Go Green Turtles, we make it as easy and cost-effective as possible to build or make the transition to a green, energy-efficient home or commercial building.
