Aside from the fact that the building department requires it.
Right off
the bat we should substitute the word "green" with
"quality", because that is much of what green building is. Though it
is obvious that energy conservation and the use of renewable energy
technologies is a big component there are other very important aspects to
include. We want our buildings to integrate into the wider site and community.
Plumbing and landscaping should use water intelligently. We want good indoor
air quality and well designed mechanical systems that provides comfort, not
just a hot/cold wind. We want efficient use of resources in buildings
minimizing pressure on raw materials and minimizing waste to be hauled off.
Lets face it, land fills are getting filled and often materials going to the
dump represent excess stuff someone paid for. Green building techniques also
encourage durability and ease of maintenance.The list could go on but you can
count on Aurora BP to help you through the documentation process of your fine
building.
You are encouraged to review
the Build it Green website to find links to checklists and manuals. It can be quite involved but you can make a preliminary pass a t the list if you wish. We will
then review that preliminary to establish what might actually be possible and
if there are any measures that were missed. Or we will just work with you to generate the checklist. I will coordinate with Build It
Green.

documentation I
