8.4.2010 -- Minnesota GreenStar Bronze Certification

Stonehearth Custom Homes is proud to announce that our remodeling project at 5113 59th Street West in Edina has been recognized as a Minnesota GreenStar Bronze Remodel Type IV. MN GreenStar is a program designed to set the industry standard for green building construction and remodeling. GreenStar specializes in educating companies on green building practices and helps them work towards achieving official certification as eco-friendly sustainable companies. 

The five key principles of MN GreenStar green building programs include: “energy efficiency (reducing the amount of energy required to operate the home); resource efficiency (reduce resources used in building, modifying and maintaining the home); water conservation (maximize the efficient use of water both in and around the home); indoor environmental quality (creating a healthier indoor environment for the occupants); and site and community impact (consider the impact of the materials and the home building process on the land and the immediate community as well as the global community and environment).” 

Stonehearth has always valued environmentally friendly building practices and we’re honored that our Edina project has been appointed a Bronze Remodel Type IV. As we mentioned on our Philosophy page, sustainability is an integral part of our vision. We support our clients and their communities by using environmentally-sound materials, methods and systems to preserve natural resources and reduce waste while creating high performance, energy efficient homes.
