LEED-Certified Building
A young firm with 15 years of experience in the building industry, Northway Construction is well on its way to establishing itself as the leading high-performance builder in the Roaring Fork Valley. Currently, Northway Construction’s project in the Ironbridge subdivision is rated as Gold level of LEED-certified, with only a few points more to achieve platinum. For our first LEED-certified building, Building Knowledge was impressed to see the level of detail, and commitment to obtain this goal. This only comes from our dedication to the High Performance Building Practices.
We’re proud to be leaders in green building. But we’re aware that “green” has been overused, and it means different things to different people. To some, it means taking reasonable steps to reduce fossil fuel consumption and reduce our impact upon the earth. To others, it means ensuring a healthier living environment for our families. For some, “green” is a marketing strategy, and they use “greenwashing” as a ploy to capitalize on the good intentions of consumers.
Northway Construction knows the difference between the greenwashed products and services and those that really make a difference. Our close ties to Building Knowledge, Inc. (BKI), the building science training and consulting firm that wrote the LEED for Homes programs for the U.S. Green Building Council, gives us an inside edge on the LEED certification process, which can help you in making the decision to have your project certified, and help in choosing the best options for meeting the LEED standards.
Whether you are interested in learning more about LEED certification for your house or commercial building, or want to incorporate our high performance building techniques and other “green” features into your project without full LEED certification, we invite you to call or stop by. We look forward to talking with you.
