Gravell and Company recently completed major renovations on a home in the historic Monte Vista neighborhood of San Antonio.

What marked this renovation as unique was not just the aesthetic virtues, but the very project itself: A Build San Antonio Green Retrofit Project.

There’s a new certified building program in town and it promises major energy and cost benefits. How about a proven increase in a home’s efficiency by up to 50% over structures built to standard code! How about an energy savings of 3.3 million kilowatt-hours per year– enough to run 98 code-built homes for one year! How about an emissions reduction of over 1.9 million pounds of CO2 per year– equal to taking 163 cars off the road for one year!

Build San Antonio Green offers on-going training to San Antonio home builders resource-efficient building methods, materials, and technologies.

Why green home building? Because builders must use only elements that meet specific criteria: recycled building materials, natural or renewable sources, have non-toxic finishes, and long-term durability, CPS Energy’s figures show the entry-level BSAG Home is 40% more efficient than the average San Antonio home! Green homes use less water and energy resulting in lower utility bills for the homeowner. Additionally, the more durable materials promise lower operation and maintenance costs throughout the lifetime of the home. And quite importantly, improved indoor air quality makes Build San Antonio Green Homes more healthful to live in.

Few San Antonio builders have undergone the rigorous and on-going quality-control training required to be a certified green home builder under this new program, but Gravell and Company, an ever-committed construction consulting management firm, lives on the cutting edge of new and relevant technologies to build and/or improve your home according to top-quality and budget friendly methods.
