Features and Benefits

Energy:    
By using high performance equipment and increased insulation, a home’s monthly energy bills can be significantly lower than those of a traditionally built home, saving you money from the day you move in.  The home’s reduced energy needs will contribute to fewer carbon emissions and require less fossil fuel.  Comfort is also improved by increased air sealing in the home, which reduces drafts.

Health:
Indoor air plays a major role in overall health and lifestyle.  Our homes contain fewer products that off-gas harmful chemicals.  They also incorporate ventilation and filtration systems that reduce airborne contaminants, diminishing the chances of allergies, asthma, and other more serious health risks.

Water:
Our homes are built with water-wise technologies that help lower utility bills and reduce the total amount of water needed to maintain a comfortable lifestyle.  Water shortages are a primary concern of the 21st century, and our homes address water conservation needs.

Materials:
New home construction and upkeep depend heavily on natural resources. Our homes incorporate a mix of pre-engineered systems, rapidly renewable materials and many products that can be resourced locally.
