Green Building for the Denver Metro Area
Green building means reducing the negative impact of your home on your health and the environment by using materials and processes which conserve energy. CJ Development recommends environmentally responsible products including the following products.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Roofing
We suggest installing a solar photovoltaic (PV) roof, for example. Your PV roof will generate your electricity from sunshine, and doesn’t involve the use of solar panels.
CJ Development prefers Uni-Solar’s breakthrough solar electric roofing that comes comes in rolls or shingles that can be applied directly over plywood. A thin layer of amorphous silicon generates the electricity.
Your solar-electric roof will protect you from rising electricity prices, and you’ll help reduce our dependence on polluting, unsustainable fossil fuels and the dangers involved with nuclear reactors.
Bamboo Flooring
We also like the bamboo flooring that can give you the natural beauty of wood without damaging the environment. Each year a parent bamboo plant develops new stems that can be harvested after six years without decreasing the size of the forest.
Bamboo flooring does not involve strips of uneven cane or round poles. New technology allows manufacturers to turn bamboo stalks into smooth, tough, and durable planks, strips, or tiles.
On Demand Hot Water Heaters
These tankless water heaters — also called "on demand" or "instant" water heaters — heat your water only when you need it.
The heater starts working when you turn on your hot water faucet, and stops heating when your turn the faucet off.
On demand hot water headers save energy because they don't keep heating water when you don't need it. And you never run out of hot water!
