Yes, there really is a way to make sure you're doing the greenest thing for the environment even if all you need is a shed for your backyard. When considering storage garages for sale in today's diverse prefab garage market, remember to think about how your garage could contribute to a cleaner lifestyle.
The issue of caring for our environment concerns all of us, whether considering a small shed or a roomy double garage for cars and more. It's more important than ever to consider what kind of environmental impact our actions have on the world we live in.
Recently the Green Parking Council published an article about new certification levels for garage structures:
"Green Garage Certification is the world’s only rating system defining and recognizing sustainable practices in parking structure management, programming, design, and technology.
An industry-driven, field-tested road map for high-performance new and existing parking garages, Green Garage Certification recognizes forward-thinking facilities shaping the transportation network of tomorrow.
Built through the collaboration of over 200 professionals from the parking, real estate, technology and sustainability worlds, Green Garage Certification promotes a holistic approach to garage performance and sustainability and encourages the adoption of emerging smart parking and intelligent transportation tools."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has green building advice on their website, including this information on choosing a greener garage door:
"Garage doors containing recycled content are available on the market, including ones made of composite wood or steel. Insulated garage doors are also widely available, which can help keep your garage and any adjacent rooms warmer in the winter, and improve the energy efficiency of your home. For homes in warmer climates, consider a perforated garage door, which allows ventilation and light inside the garage, while providing security and privacy."
The Amish tradition of hand built structures and gardening was a green industry long before it became evident in today's fast paced world how necessary green building practices are to assist the creation of a sustainable and healthy environment.
We've been keeping the garage and shed building business in Lancaster County as green as possible since 1975. Community is important to us and we keep the well-being and safety of our neighbors first. We were quick to response in 2012, when Hurricane Sandy caused damage and destruction throughout the East Coast. We got a number of calls saying that our structures were some of the only ones still standing! For more information on the methods and materials used in we use, contact
