Our new Ann Arbor showroom opened in June 2007, was constructed with an eco-friendly 'green roof'. Our green roof helps us conserve energy and reduce our company's carbon footprint on the environment. Utilizing our roof space in this manner is not only an environmentally smart choice, but an economically smart one as well, saving our company energy costs in the long run. Our commitment to the environment doesn’t end here. We are a major retailer of E-Star products.

A Green Roof is a layer of living vegetation that is installed on the top of a conventional flat or sloping roof. Some of the benefits of installing a green roof are:

• To Conserve energy by moderating temperature on roof and surrounding areas
• Dramatically reduce storm runoff volume and peak flow rate
• Restore the ecological and aesthetic value of urban open space
• Protect conventional roofing systems, typically doubling the service life of the underlying waterproofing membrane.
• Improve our quality of life

Our company’s philosophy towards environmentally friendly practices does not end with the building in which we conduct our business. Big George’s is also a Energy Star certified dealer. Click to view advantages of a energy star rated appliance.
