At Klockner, we understand the difficulties faced by many homeowners who wish
to construct an environmentally friendly home.

Over the past twenty years we have developed a knowledge base on green products
and construction methods and the skills to ensure that the process of greening your
home goes as smoothly as possible.

More than anything green denotes a lifestyle attitude from natural organic clothing to
foods, household cleaners and solvents, consciously choosing green lifestyle engages
the philosophy of 'minimal environmental impact'. At Klockner, we manifest minimal
impact by renovating, remodeling, and constructing new homes with green products and
production methods.

Green products & processes are those that:
• Contribute to healthy indoor environments
• Conserve natural resources
• Minimize environmental impact during construction
• Avoid toxic emissions
• Are recycled, salvaged, or reclaimed
• Reduce water & energy consumption
• Minimize agricultural waste content

Using products that follow these guidelines greatly decreases our impact on the environment. 
However, it takes more than green products to build a green home.

Green Building begins with thoughtful, well-planned design that incorporates awareness
of the natural environment.  Utilizing solar orientation, natural topography, existing forest
components, whether rural, suburban or urban, all contribute to a home or addition that
blends with the natural surroundings.  The challenges to the "green builder" are different
in renovation, additions, or new construction.  Greening the existing home affords both
limitations and opportunities.  At Klockner, we make the effort to work creatively with each
homeowner to make decisions to maximize those opportunities.

For centuries, society has failed to recognize or respect the balances of nature.
   Today's society must make big changes now if there is to be a future society.

No one person can save the world, but each of us can do a small part to help improve it.
