Aliana has been making waves in the industry for years. She is determined to make things easier for homeowners and eliminate the stress that comes with the million decisions that are needed when building a house. As for sustainable or “green features”, those are already built-in, since Garman Homes is a bronze level NAHB Green Standards member and also receives other 3rd party verifications.
If there is a bar out there, and you are under it, then you shouldn’t be here.
Alaina has continuously been innovating her companies and can now offer more houses on less land to give even more value to the consumer. They can package in green features that will provide homeowners with a more significant return on their investment, and move the dial towards a more sustainable home.
Listen to the full episode here to hear Alain’s insights into what the future holds for sustainable homebuilding!
For too long, the buildings in which we live, work, heal, and play, have been built to minimum standards, affecting safety, quality, health, and sustainability.
Scott talks more about MGO’s Engineered Wall System, and the importance of materials used when building a sustainable home.

Todd talks about why sustainable building is so important and the new trends in high-performance home building that he is most excited about.
Healthier, more sustainable homes are not just about saving a bit of money in energy bills, or rescuing a couple trees. It's about an entirely new lifestyle; a healthier way of being.

Doug Asano
Doug Asano is the Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Huber Engineered Woods LLC and leads a team of over 100 sales and marketing professionals. Doug is a member of Huber’s senior leadership team and is responsible for developing and implementing Huber’s sales, marketing, and channel strategies as well as building strong customer relationships. Doug takes a very hands-on approach visiting with many builders, architects, and lumber dealers throughout the year to talk about how Huber can address their needs and further build upon the success of the AdvanTech and ZIP System product lines.
Last year, Rise featured a net-positive home built in Georgia, where extreme humidity and mold growth can cause huge problems. It was noted that Huber’s ZIP System® R-sheathing was identified and used as the perfect material for insulation on this home. Doug talks more about the ZIP system and why it’s something builders and homeowners should be paying attention to.
As with many other sustainable products, using them requires updating the way you build, and for many contractors embracing change is hard....it is extremely necessary if you don't want to be left behind.
