What Is A Green Home?

A green home incorporates top environmental and resource efficient building practices through every phase of construction. As a green home builder we consider:

Lot design, preparation and construction
Resource efficiency
Energy efficiency
Water efficiency
Indoor air quality
Operation, maintenance and homeowner education
Global Impact

A true green home undergoes third party certification, but you do not have to go through verification to take advantage of the environmental and energy efficient benefits of green building.

What Does Verified Green Mean?

A verified green home is inspected during the building process to verify that an established set of green criteria have been met. During those inspections, points are awarded for each achievement. Once a certain threshold is reached, a home is awarded a green designation.

Why Build Green?

Homes that are built and verified green provide the homeowner with a host of benefits, including:

Reduced energy consumption saves money on utility bills
Improved air and water quality creates a more comfortable and healthier environment
Increased durability over typical construction requires less maintenance, and saves homeowners time and money
Reduced waste and pollution conserves and restores natural resources, helping to protect the environment
