Off - Gassing
Building materials can release chemicals into the air

through evaporation. This evaporation can continue
for years after the products are initially installed
which means you continue to breathe these
chemicals as you work, sleep, and relax in your
home or office. Products such as paints, stains,
varnishes, carpet, insulation, flooring, kitchen
cabinets and countertops, plywood, particleboard,
and paint strippers can produce significant off
gassing in your home or office. (Look for Low to No
VOC)

owner, and Jessica Gehrke apply natural
clay plaster with their hands.
Rapidly Renewable
A plant that grows to harvestable size in 15

years of less. Example: Bamboo
Rapidly Renewable Bamboo
Rapidly Renewable- Soy Oil
Soy Foam Insulation sprayed on under

side of roof deck and in wall cavities.
Recycled Content
The portion of a product that is made from

materials redirected from the waste stream;
usually stated as a percentage by weight.
Example: Green Fiber Cellulose Insulation is
85% recycled content (post-consumer
waste). Another example is Ultra Touch Blue
Jean Insulation made from recycled denim
jeans.
Recycled Content- 100% post-consumer

(gypsum wallboard, manufactured locally)
Locally Manufactured
Manufactured within 500 miles of your

building project.
Harvested within 500 miles of your project.
Locally Harvested Lumber (Barberville)
Energy Efficient
Energy Star rated appliances and lighting

Use of instant hot water heater
Light colored membrane roof to deflect heat
Passive methods (overhanging canopy)
Active methods (power strips, motion
sensors, fan and light timers)
High SEER HVAC, variable system by Daikin
Energy Star Rating
Water Saving
On Right:
Dual Flush Toilet for water
conservation.
On Left:
No, we dont need the cute
baby toilet!
Salvage
100 year old stained glass window

Some original canopy glass used in
newly installed replica canopy
Salvage
1915 Original Exterior transom windows

that did not meet hurricane code were
creatively utilized as interior transoms for
solar tube light sharing between offices.
Salvage
Salvaged brick from original, structurallyimpaired front wall along with historic brick
from off-site.
Avoid Landfill
Original wire cut red brick salvaged

from front wall demolition. Historic
stained glass door, salvaged from
demolished church.
A Historical Showcase
