The #1 goal at Green Solutions Consulting Services is to assist our customers in choosing the right  combination of systems to reduce energy consumption, attain LEED  (Leadership in Energy and Enviormental Design)  certification and come closer to achieving the goal of net zero energy consumption.  The Net-Zero Energy Commercial Building Initiative aims to achieve marketable net-zero energy commercial buildings by the year of 2025.

A High-Performance Commercial Building is described as a building with energy conservation products that provide an economic savings and a lower carbon footprint. Utilizing the right combination of Green products result in a environmental performance that is substantially superior to the current standard construction procedures.

A High-Performance Commercial Building, being energy efficient, will save money and natural resources. When combing cool roofing, daylight harvesting, clean photo-voltaic electric generation, engery conserving lighting products andlighting  controls the result is a healther enviroment to live in and/or work. This Green Design results in a much lower impact on the environment.  

According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, homes and commercial buildings use 71% of the electricity generated in the United States. This number will rise to 75% or greater by the year of 2025. Opportunities abound for reducing the enormous amount of energy consumed by buildings.

During our design or retro-fit phase we provide solutions and products that will assist  you in achieving a net zero energy consumption facility.

Net-Zero energy buildings generate as much energy as they consume through efficiency technologies and on-site power generation.
