Why Should I Build a Green Home?
Beautiful and sustainable, energy-efficient home building has gone beyond a trend to become a higher standard against which new homes and builders are measured. Healthier, more comfortable, and increased durability - building a custom home using green home standards means your home is built to outperform and outlast the standard new homes being built today. Some of the benefits of building a high-performance home that you will see right away:
- Better Indoor Air Quality - The use of 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.
- Better Comfort - Energy efficiency should not be a trade-off with year-round comfort. a green home is more comfortable than a conventionally built new home because factors such as properly sized, high-efficiency HVAC systems to keep your temperature inside comfortable without waste. Using higher quality insulation also prevents air leaks and creates an overall quieter home.
- Better Durability - Sustainable home building means considering the current and future impact your home has on the environment, which means your home is built with materials meant to withstand weather and time. And your home is built to above code standards that will take it well into the future.
