Sustainable Construction
Sustainable construction can often be reduced to marketing hype, but for us, it’s a commitment. We prioritize the health of our clients, our employees, and the planet, even when it adds complexity to our work. This dedication fuels us, because there’s nothing more important than building a healthier future for everyone.
Sustainability In Our Homes
Energy Efficiency
Careful attention to how our homes are heated, cooled and introduce fresh air into the living space is essential to our sustainability commitment. Keeping our ducts in heated places and high-efficiency systems represent some of our additional standard measures. We offer mini-split heating and cooling systems, heat recovery ventilators, additional insulation as well as high performance windows to name just a few of our energy efficiency options.
Future Proofing With Solar
While we have included a “solar-ready” standard for many years, we have recently adopted a higher threshold option for our homes— a 9.3 KW capacity for future panel installation. Solar Panels and battery backups have become an important offering (usually accompanied with significant tax credits) for homeowners who wish reduce their carbon footprint. Some buyers opt for an “all-electric” homes to further reduce a reliance on natural gas.
Sustainability In Our Communities
Exceeding The Standard
National and state standards (Energy Star and Energy Performance Scores) help us to objectively verify our continued efforts to deliver homes to our buyers which are well built and environmentally responsible.
