Why Build or Buy a Green House??
- Icynene spray foam insulation provides a tighter barrier than traditional insulation, reducing energy costs and protecting residents against mold and other allergens.
- Low-E ENERGY STAR windows reflect radiant heat in the summer and retain interior heat in the winter.
- An ENERGY STAR advanced lighting package reduces energy cost with compact fluorescent bulbs and qualified hard-wired fixtures and ceiling fans.
- Two HVAC units with programmable thermostats lower energy costs, and sealed duct work prevents leakage.
- A tankless water heater with on-demand hot water adjusts the water temperature at the push of a button.
- Water-conserving plumbing fixtures and appliances reduce utility bills.
- Sealed, insulated crawl space saves on energy costs and prevents moisture from entering the home.
- ENERGY STAR kitchen appliances reduce energy needs and save money.
- Undisturbed shade trees on the homesite help cool the home’s interior in warmer months.
