Building green in the
Monterey Bay Area

 

Who wants to live or work in a toxic building? The fact is, most people do. Modern building materials typically contain toxic treatments and off-gas formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds. Little concern is given to how the materials were created or harvested, and this causes serious negative impacts on our environment.

 

CoHabitat designs and builds with a conscious. We focus on the efficient use of energy, water, and construction materials to reduce impacts on the environment and to human health. We achieve this by making conscientious choices in siting, sustainable design, and the use of local materials and environmentally-friendly construction techniques.

 

CoHabitat creates comfortable, attractive, and sustainable structures using a multitude of unique systems and building techniques including:

 

  Passive solar orientation
  High-performance hot water systems
  Rainwater harvesting and graywater reuse
  Healthy indoor air systems
