Services from GREEN DEPOT

Interested in building with some of the products we distribute? Here are two ways GREEN DEPOT can assist folks preparing to build with sustainability in mind:

As a distributor for many of the products you may want for your energy and resource conserving building project, we would be happy to supply you with estimates for any materials we provide at no cost to you.  You can then take those estimates to general contractors who will in turn include our information in their estimate/bid preparations along with the rest of your building needs. Please note: we can only provide firm material quotes from complete, final, engineered sets of plans.
As a green building consultant, we can also provide you with a more in-depth service. Once your plans are drawn, we'll sit down together to assist you in creating a comprehensive list of all of the things you want for your home. With these specifications and drawings, we can do the groundwork and provide you with a cost estimate.

This estimate will include:

• Materials we supply.
• Other envelope building materials per your specifications.
• Finish materials.
• Labor estimates.
• A list of potential installers.

GREEN DEPOT is establishing a relationship with Energy Star Homes Northwest by promoting Energy Star qualified homes and products. We offer verification services to member builders of the Energy Star Homes Northwest program interested in qualifying their residential project(s) as certified Energy Star Homes.

ENERGY STAR Homes NW

The Energy Star label is awarded to homes that have been independently verified to be at least 15% more efficient than the state or local energy codes in the Northwest. These savings are typically achieved through a combination of:

• Tight duct systems
• Upgraded heating and air conditioning systems
• Energy Star qualified windows
• Increased insulation
• High-efficiency water heating equipment
• Energy Star qualified appliances and lighting.

Where does GREEN DEPOT come in?

To have your Energy Star qualified home verified and certified, a verifier inspects your project on-site and collects all the information needed to verify that it meets Energy Star Home standards. During this process, the verifier directly confirms the proper selection and installation of specifications with nominal values and labels (e.g., insulation, windows, appliances).

The verifier reviews the building components and compliance requirements and submits all information to the State Certification Organization for Energy Star certification.

The verifier charges a fee that includes verification services and Energy Star certification.

Enjoy the peace of mind in knowing you built and/or own a home that's energy efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
