One of the best ways to decrease the impact of a project during the building phase is to consider ways to reduce the amount of resources used and waste generated in the construction of a dwelling. This requires a great deal of planning and creativity in the design as well as the execution of a project. The results are well worth it for everyone involved however. There are a few areas where resource conservation can make a big difference:
