The Future of Home Building

Informed buyers in Omaha are starting to embrace green building practices and are no longer questioning why it's a good idea to build green, it’s a question of why not? Green building is going main-stream for all the right reasons.

As one of Omaha's only Certified Green builders, Brau Builders has embraced the Green Trend head on. Green homes are healthier environments for their occupants, especially interior air quality which is often caused by formaldehyde, mold and mildew that are the result of toxic materials, leaks or poorly designed and maintained structures, heating and cooling systems. Another common source of indoor air pollution is the off-gassing of chemicals found in many building materials non-associated in green building. Some are known carcinogens. A well-designed and green-built home consumes as little energy as possible, non-toxic and uses renewable resources of energy whenever possible.
