Building Green

Given SRD Building Corporation’s long history of building with quality craftsmanship, modern technology and Green Practices, it is no surprise that they are the first builders in the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club to build a certified Green Home!

The benefits of a Green Home are numerous: lower energy consumption, reduced and responsible water usage, improved indoor air quality and preservation of the environment for future generations. One example of energy savings is in solar water heating. In Florida, where it is sunny most of the year, a properly sized solar water heating system can supply almost 90% of the home’s hot water. Also, through the use of high quality insulations and ultra-efficient air conditioning systems, you can lower your energy consumption by up to 40% or 50%, all while providing cleaner and healthier air quality throughout the home.

The concept of building Green is not new to SRD. They’ve been implementing many Green building practices over the years, including the use of: reclaimed and engineered building materials, appliances that run on natural gas, high quality and efficient icynene insulation, high efficiency air conditioning systems, energy saving fixtures and light bulbs, reclaimed irrigation water with rain sensor overrides and recycling of 80% of construction debris. In addition, details such as the orientation of a home and landscape to use or deflect natural light are considered when designing a home. SRD Building Corporation makes a strong effort to use and implement all of the above, while maintaining a superior level of quality and overall customer satisfaction.

“We at SRD strive to be responsible with the blessings of the creation that was entrusted to all of us.”
– Steve Dingle, Vice-President
