By: Mon Group Properties, Inc. “We are committed to building green,” states Dean R. Mon, CEO and president of Mon Group. “Everyone needs to do their part to protect our environment. Mon Group has incorporated green building standards since its inception. It is important to me, as well as our entire team to build healthy and energy efficient homes.” “Jaclyn Heights represents an excellent example of smart green development,” Green, or high-performance, buildings are designed and constructed to incorporate environmental considerations and resource efficiency into the building and land development process with the goal to minimize the home's environmental impact.
