Green Building: Saving Energy and Dollars

Green building begins with the right components, assembled in the right sequence so first we conserve what energy we produce and secondly we minimize what energy we need.  Saunders Company has been part of Colorado's Built Green program since its inception and has transitioned into the ENERGY STAR program.  Our first rated house scored a superior rating for its energy conservation performance.
