Certified Green Professional™
The National Association of Home Builders’ Certified Green Professional™ designation recognizes builders, remodelers and other industry professionals who incorporate green building principles into homes— without driving up the cost of construction. Classwork leading to the designation provides a solid background in green building methods, as well as the tools to reach consumers, from the organization leading the charge to provide market-driven green building solutions to the home building industry.
Cameron Smith built our house and we are very pleased with the result. He had the connections and ability to use various green building techniques that resulted in a very tight and energy efficient home. He used a spray foam insulation on all the exterior walls and the roof of the house. This added strength to the building and also sealed all places where any air, pollution, dust, etc... could leak into the house, thus providing a much tighter and healthier house, as well as being more energy efficient.
Also, solar hot water heating was installed, which has a quick pay-back and uses sustainable energy. Cameron arranged a solar panel generation system too. This uses solar panels on the roof to generate electricity which is sold back to the local electric company, reducing our monthly bills. It also generates solar credits which are sold as well and aide in making the pay-back faster. There are Federal tax credits for these installations.
Cameron and CL Smith Construction had the most experience of any other builder we found in these matters, and we are very happy with our new house and recommend his work highly.

We built our home with Cameron Smith 8 years ago. This house was CL Smith Construction Co.'s first Energy Star home. In the 8 years we have lived here our utility bills (gas and electric) have been approximately half of what our neighbors and friends of comparably sized homes have incurred. The added benefit has been the noise reduction both internally and externally.

"I researched green technologies extensively, but when it came time to building using green features, I wanted an experienced green builder. Cameron of CL Smith construction rose above the other builders. When I walked thru homes he built, I could see wall systems, insulation, geothermal HVAC, ERVs/HRVs, conditioned sealed crawspaces, etc. that employed features and technologies I had read about. Best of all, Cameron builds a beautiful home with careful attention to detail."
