        "text": "Environmentally conscious construction prioritizes materials that are renewable, recycled, locally sourced, and have low embodied energy. Examples include bamboo flooring, recycled steel, reclaimed wood, low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints, and high-performance insulation. A practical tradeoff is balancing the aesthetic preference for certain traditional materials with their environmental impact; Hometelligent Inc. works to find sustainable alternatives that meet design goals for clients across our service area, from Fremont to San Leandro.",
