The decisions we make in our everyday lives can have a long-term and long-lasting effect on the environment. That's why MUSE always makes an effort to offer you a wide array of "green" options whether you are building or decorating your new home.

 

After all, studies have shown buildings are often one of the biggest contributors to environmental impacts worldwide. In fact, buildings account for;

 

• 36% of total energy use and 65% of electricity consumption
• 30% of greenhouse gas emissions
• 30% of raw materials use
• 30% of waste output
• 12% of potable water consumption

 

So, if you are concerned about the environment, the decision to "Go Green" in your building or decorating plans can be one of the single biggest ways you can positively impact the environment for years to come.

Best of all, contrary to popular belief, the decision to "go green" doesn't have to cost more than building a custom home in a more traditional way. There are many strategies you can implement at the beginning of a project that will save money right from the start and ultimately contribute to long-term energy savings as well.

Be sure to ask us how MUSE can help you build some "green" into your home building or decorating project.
