Green thinking included.

At Trace Ventures, being green isn’t an option. It’s a given. Because environmental responsibility is something we take very seriously. We have a long list of green building standards that we incorporate into every single project. If you want to do more, our Certified Green Professionals can also make additional green recommendations.

Green standards on every project.

Here's a partial list of the practices you can expect on every job:

• Recycle and re-use. We recycle 61% of jobsite debris.
• Properly size HVAC systems for optimum efficiency.
• Craft proper drainage planes under all siding to keep out water.
• Use R-15 wall insulation versus the standard R-13.
• Right-size window and door headers to reduce lumber.
• Use engineered wood products where possible instead of trees.
• Use reflective roof decking to reduce heat inside by up to 30%.
• Insulate all hot water pipes to reduce energy usage.
• Install airtight insulated-can recessed lighting to prevent the chimney effect.
• Wash out concrete trucks responsibly, not in streets or creeks.

10 additional smart options.

Here's a partial list of additional green practices that you can request for your project:

• Daylighting design practices
• Double-paned, low-e window sashes
• Energy Star appliances
• Low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paint
• Fiber-cement siding (ex: Hardi board)
• Tankless water heaters
