Green Building Council

I was recently appointed the president of the Jackson County Home Builders Association Green Building Council - whew, it's a lot to say.

I have never been the president of anything. Never in high school, or college. But I never wanted to be, like I do now.  I accepted the position because I find it crucial to educate others on how to build homes that are not a waste of our resources. There are a lot of ways to define waste on a job site. Some items I don't like to waste are energy, materials, water, time, and money. 

It all comes down to education. Our goal is to educate everyone possible about the common sense building techniques Jovick Construction uses everyday, on every project we do. Once you learn the right way, why go back to the wrong way.

Below is a link to our local Home Builders Association website. Click on "Green Street" to learn more about what we are doing to promote green building. We always have several affordable opportunities for homeowners and contractors to continue their education about building science. Our next event is at the Jackson County Home Show in February.  We will have a booth and a presentation area. Presentations will be short and to the point, packed full of great material for everyone.
