We will discuss the advantages of using Bluwood, a new coating technology for protecting all framing lumber used in a new home, with a lifetime warrantee against damage from mold, rot fungi, decay, and termites. We will demonstrate how Bluwood can be used as a marketing tool for Builders who want to position themselves as Quality Home Builders who are also building, "GREEN". We will also discuss how Bluwood fits into the Green Home Certification process used in Florida, such as the Florida Green Building Coalition home certification process, and the NAHB green building program as well as the USGBC LEED program.
