ConstructGreen app for iPhone and iPad

ConstructGreen - Improved building efficiency at your fingertips

ConstructGreen is a fast, fun, and interactive smartphone application that is capable of promoting energy efficiency awareness by rating and certifying a large portion of non-residential and residential buildings.

It is inspired by the famous and internationally accepted rating system developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBS). The system is entitled Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ®).

The ultimate goal of the smartphone application rating system is to collect more credit points out of FIVE sustainability categories. These five categories are Sustainable Site, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, and Indoor Environmental Quality. A combination of credit points adds up to a certain level of certification.

• Choose the type of building you want to construct, provide us with some more building specific information, and then start collecting credit points that will count towards the certification of your building. More points means more efficient! It is a new and interactive way to approach sustainability.

ConstructGreen application is capable of providing sustainable building design ideas that will lower building operating costs and increase building asset values. We are building ConstructGreen to try to promote the green building industry in an easy and fun manner.
