Green Remodeling

NEXT
From the curb, it looks like any other home remodeling project. But when Heritage Builders completes the two-story south Minneapolis transformation of this home, it will include many ecologically sound features that will set it apart from its neighbors.  I t will also leave the homeowner with the pride of being part of a cutting-edge “green” home renovation movement – as well as almost no monthly energy bills.
Heritage Builders Inc. began remodeling the home after the project was designated as part of the pilot program in the Minnesota GreenStar home building and remodeling certification program.
Minnesota GreenStar is a new collaborative effort of the Green Remodelers Group, the Builders Association of the Twin Cities, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry-Minnesota, and the environmental nonprofit Green Institute. The program is funded in part by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
