Green Building
Murus has always been concerned for our environment and natural resources. We are proud that our products help to insure the continued comfort of our clients without sacrificing the integrity of our environment. Because of their ability to contribute significantly to a reduction in heating and cooling loads, Murus SIPs can decrease the consumption of fossil fuels for these purposes. The reduction positively impacts the structure's carbon footprint and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, thus helping to save our limited fossil f uel resources. Murus SIPs are ENERGY STAR® labeled, are NAHBGreen certified, and are ideal for GREEN building projects.
