At BH Living we offer simple green options at many levels of our construction process: From double-glazed windows to lower your energy output, to landscaping with California native plants to lower your water consumption, to low VOC and insulating paint, to environmentally preferrable carpets, lighting, and floor coverings.

We will be happy to work with you on a deeper level to find eco-friendly solutions that work for you and your family. Here, in the meantime, are a few tips towards a greener home.

	Skylights: Skylights light the home during the day to help reduce the need for lamps, and help reduce energy costs!
	Low VOC paint: Low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paint helps reduce the toxins emitted by the walls of your home, creating better health for you and your family, while helping the air quality in your home, and, ultimately, the ozone! Insulating paint: Helps reduce energy consumption by insulating your home.
	Energy-efficient appliances: Washers and dryers, toilets, dishwashers, even showerheads can help drastically reduce your water consumption.
	Eco-friendly flooring: Cork flooring, environmentally friendly carpets, and many more beautiful options both help reduce allergies and the environment.
	Solar power: Solar powered items can range from garden lighting accessories to attic fans, to full home energy systems.
	Double-glazed windows: Help reduce energy usage by insulating the home against all types of weather, and look beautiful too!
	Native plants: Landscaping with native plants reduces the need for overwatering, and ensures a healthy, beautiful environment that requires very little maintenance.
