Building Better Energy-Efficient Homes Since 2004
Healthier indoor air quality, quieter and more comfortable daily living, and increased durability for lower maintenance - building your home using green building methods is one of the ways to ensure you're building a high quality homes that lasts a lifetime. Your home is built to outperform and outlast the conventionally built new homes on the market. From more durable materials that decrease waste to above-code building practices that ensure higher quality craftsmanship, a green home is a better-built custom home from the ground up.
As a recognized leader in high-performance home building, every home built by Hibbs Homes relies on the high-quality practices and materials that are required for healthier, green homes. Our homes exceed the metrics for high-performance certification and are well above the building codes of today. This is how we ensure every custom home we build performs at level that is measurably higher than conventional, code-built homes.
Why Build a Green Home?
You will see the benefits of building a high-performance, green home from the moment you move in and throughout the lifetime of the home:
- Cleaner + Healthier Indoor Air - Materials with low volatile organic compounds - gasses emitted over time by chemicals used in the production process - and the tightly sealed thermal envelope on an energy-efficient home means fewer indoor air pollutants inside your home - including less allergens. The high-efficiency HVAC also includes a filter to remove dust, mold, allergens, illnesses, and bacteria from the air as it is cycled through your home.
- Quieter Living + Better Comfort - Energy efficiency is not a trade-off with year-round comfort. Green homes are more comfortable than conventionally built new homes because of a building approach that includes a properly sized, high-efficiency HVAC system to keep your temperature inside comfortable without waste. Using higher quality insulation also prevents air leaks and creates an overall quieter home.
- More Durability + Low Maintenance - Sustainable home design and building practices consider both the current and future impact home construction and renovations will have on the environment. Sustainable homes are intentionally built with materials meant to withstand the tests of weather and time. Your home is also built to above code standards to reduce the need to renovations or major repairs over the lifetime of ownership.
