Sustainable Design
One of the most experienced “Green” Builders in Central Florida, Phil Kean Design Group is deeply committed to reducing our impact on the environment.
On the leading edge of construction science, Phil Kean Design Group is qualified and experienced in seeing projects through the LEED for Homes, National Green Building Standard and Florida Green Building Coalition certification programs. Realizing Green Home certification is an important consideration to some clients, PKDG builds all homes utilizing “green” construction methods and the best building practices.
Understanding the impact of sustainable design on our clients’ homes and the community, PKDG’s building practices create homes with extended life spans, less maintenance and materials that can be recycled at the end of use. PKDG’s residential Green Building practices include designing and constructing homes that use energy, water, and materials efficiently; have a reduced impact on their physical environment; and promote a healthy indoor environment. By utilizing these methods along with an integrated design/build approach, PKDG clients benefit from a custom home designed and constructed to be operated as an effective “Green System”.
