With LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified professionals on the team, Tall Pines Construction is the Park City expert on building green homes and integrating energy-efficient amenities within your space, no matter your lifestyle.
While our team approaches construction from a standpoint of outstanding craftsmanship and beauty, we also lean heavily on sustainable approaches to the building process.

Going green with your new home from Tall Pines can look different for everyone. Some may opt for a more passive approach through solar heating, higher-quality insulation, air sealing, or advanced framing, which can reduce the need for lumber and decrease environmental impact, ultimately lowering long-term costs for homeowners. Others may choose more active methods such as solar power, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and smart home technologies. Whichever route you choose, the team at Tall Pines can guide you to what will work best for your home and unique needs.

What makes a home “green build” or an “energy efficient build?”
A green-built home achieves energy efficiency in every aspect—heating, cooling, water, and ventilation. Passive solar heating from home orientation, water conservation through highly efficient appliances, healthy indoor air quality, renewable energy methods, autarkic design, and a symbiotic relationship with the surrounding land.
What is LEED certification, and why is it important?
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification is a globally recognized system in which a home can be evaluated as being “green” based on a point system. LEED provides the framework necessary for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining buildings that are more sustainable and environmentally responsible. Our designers and architects are well-versed in the qualifications required to create a LEED-certified home.
Do you only do green builds for new homes, or do you remodel homes as well?
Our designers, architects, and builders have experience in both new construction and remodels, and with that experience comes expertise. Our clients can implement their planet-saving intentions into their new homes or choose to preserve the authenticity of their current home while updating it for long-term savings and a cleaner conscience. If you choose to remodel, our team will assess the current condition of your home and provide recommendations for an updated, energy-efficient design.
How do you integrate smart home technology into the homes you build without compromising on design?
Tall Pines understands the intricacy of creating a sustainable home while being mindful of high-end design. It’s years of expertise and clever design practices that guide our team through the implementation of smart technologies and sustainable home materials without compromising on style or overall aesthetics.
