Green Building with Design Builders

Design Builders & Remodeling, Inc has taken many steps to incorporate green building principles and technology into our projects. We are firm believers that we are all stewards of the earth and we continually try to improve building efficiencies so this philosophy is incorporated into our projects on a daily basis.

These include:

Certified Green Professional (CGP)

David H. Adams is one of a select group of professional builders, remodelers, and other industry professionals nationwide who have earned the Certified Green Professional (CGP) designation, identifying him as someone with knowledge of the best strategies for incorporating green building principles into homes. The CGP program is administered by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

The CGP curriculum incorporates a variety of information tailored to green building and business practices. It incorporates training by leading building industry practitioners and academics on a range of topics, including strategies for incorporating green-building principles into homes using cost-effective methods of construction, and how green homes provide buyers with lower maintenance costs and better quality of life. Techniques are also discussed for competitively differentiating home products with increased indoor environmental quality as well as energy and resource efficiency.

CGP program graduates are required to maintain their designation by completing 12 hours of continuing education every 3 years, a portion of which pertain to green building activities.

Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR)

This designation is held by only a handful of remodeling professionals in Fairfield County, Connecticut and the owner of Design Builders is one of these professionals. The CGR designation is an exclusive, professional designation by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) that emphasizes business management as the foundation of a successful remodeling company. The CGR program provides and encourages continuing education, demands professional integrity, recognizes competence and expects superior consumer satisfaction results.
