Incorporating Green Products into Your Tulsa, OK Business

When building, remodeling, or replacing products in your Tulsa, OK commercial space, eco-friendly or green ideas can be very easy and often inexpensive to implement. Here are some easy ways to incorporate green products:

• When building, face the widest part to the north or south.
• Place doors and windows where you will receive good cross-ventilation.
• Ensure any attic space is well ventilated by using roof ridge vents, lighter colored roof materials, lots of insulation, and by placing A/C ducts in the attic to help absorb the heat.
• Install an energy-efficient and properly sized heating and A/C system for your property, make sure that duct work is correctly sealed, and use a programmable thermostat.
• Utilize landscaping materials, plants and design that is appropriate for the climate and rainfall levels in your area. There are even newer products, such as Garden Glass, that incorporate glass as a safe use in landscaping.
  
• Use low-flow toilets and shower-heads and energy-efficient appliances.
• Recyclable and renewable materials can be used for decking, siding, interior and exterior trim, and more.
• Choose flooring materials made out of concrete, bamboo, or recycled wood.
• Replace your air conditioning filter regularly to enhance the performance of your air conditioning system and to reduce pollutants.
• Replace older lighting fixtures and dimming switches for newer ones that utilize more energy efficient technology.
  

When you're done with all the old products, remodeling, and building supplies, call David Tittle with I-Haul at 918-261-4008. I-Haul will remove all the old products, recycle and donate what they can and dispose of the rest.
