An Energy Efficient Home

Energy efficient homes significantly reduce standard operating costs. Installation of high efficiency heating and cooling systems, energy star rated appliances, fans, windows and glazed doors, upgraded insulation, water efficient plumbing fixtures and high efficacy lighting can save as much as 40% of the home’s operating costs.

Homes utilizing high efficiency clean energy systems improve the indoor air quality (IAQ). Health hazards related to dust mites, pollen, mold, radon, combustion by-products and contaminants are reduced.

It is commonly known that energy produced by the consumption of fossil fuels contributes to carbon emissions, global warming, acid rain and other environmental problems. Green point rated homes built according to “Build It Green” standards produce significantly less pollutants and conserve our earth’s natural resources.

Residential building systems that maximize energy efficient materials and products requires staying current on product knowledge, resources, availability and cost. This planning and selection process begins in the design phase, impacts the project costs analysis, is mandatory during the construction process and essential to living in a healthy home with a minimum fifty year life cycle.
