The Cowan's decided to start an

eco-friendly business because it is

the right thing to do and it appeals

to the environment.

Materials used…

Leed light: it saves a lot of energy, it controls the temperature.

Cork flooring: its renewable, and it comes from the bark off of trees. Reduces the sound of noise, durable.

Concrete countertop: Eco-friendly, made from bottles, concrete, safety glass, coins, and bolts.

Materials used.. (continued)

Construction: constructed from steel, little wood. It is long lasting, renewable and the leftover was recycled.

Parking lot: the parking lot was made of concrete. It was used because it doesn’t get hot like asphalt and it reflects light.

Atmosphere and Energy..

The Cowan’s tire business gets its heating from the waste oil form cars that they’ve worked on.. RECYCLED OIL

Stones – lizard friendly environment

It took the Cowan’s.. a year to build the building,

and their still not finished.

Recycled material that was used.. There was a certain amount

of dry wall, and the ceiling and the floor both are renewable.

When the building is knocked down it can be recycled, it all came from North Carolina.

Recycled material that was used.. (continued)

Oil waste is used for heat. There is a system that filters the used oil and its used to heat the building

Of the five buildings they have owned..

This one is the first and only Eco-friendly building – but all the buildings that were

used can still be put to use.
