History …

Originally started as a one-person department in an Austin closet-office of a professional engineering company in 2001, Green Zone Home provided energy code consultation and ENERGY STAR^® ratings for builders. Today, Green Zone Home has grown to become its own entity, with offices in Austin and San Antonio, and a staff of a dozen personnel. In addition to proudly serving the residents of the Austin and San Antonio areas, Green Zone Home also has affiliates who can offer some of our services in the Houston regions, as well. Also, since its inception seven years ago, Green Zone Home has now expanded its services to include a wide array of green consultation services, programs, and plans that not only benefit builders, but also individuals and homeowners, and real estate professionals, as well.

Our staff …

How we treat our customers …

In this ever-changing and growing field of “green”, Green Zone Home handles every client’s needs individually and differently from others. Not every project or concern is of the same nature or scope. Therefore, we look at what your needs are, either on an individual or company level, and develop an action plan that best suits your situation. Different homes and buildings are constructed differently, which mean that your project(s) deserve(s) the individual attention that Green Zone home provides.

Our relationship with the community …

Community has always been important to Green Zone Home, just like it is to you. We live in the areas we serve, and are your fellow citizens and neighbors. Therefore, it is important to us and you that we have affiliated ourselves with organizations that serve where we live, such as the local chapter of the EcoBroker^® Certified Realtors, the local chapter of the United States Green Building Council, and the Austin and San Antonio Area Home Builder Associations. Energy efficiency and green management is important to our business practices, as well; we use fuel efficient vehicles, recycle and use recycled products, and use local businesses as vendors and partners when available. Education of the community is important to everyone, as well; we regularly participate as speakers and sponsors at workshops for individuals, businesses, real estate professionals, and the community on a variety of topics concerning energy efficiency, green building, and green living – many of which are free and open to the public. And, as community-oriented charity is beneficial to many, we have partnered with Austin Habitat for Humanity to provide pro-bono energy efficiency and green building consultation and home performance testing on the homes they build.
