Saving Money & Energy with ENERGY STAR
Foyer

Dreaming of a Greener World? We're doing our part to make it a reality. That's because every HandCrafted Home is ENERGY STAR® ready. That means that when it leaves our facility, it is ready to be installed by one of our builder partners as an ENERGY STAR® certified home. These homes must meet the guidelines for energy efficiency set forth by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; that is, they must be at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to the 2004 International Residential Code (IRC), and include additional energy-saving features that typically make them 20–30% more efficient than standard homes.

So, what are some other advantages, as a homeowner, of going green?
* Going green can increase your home's value and give you an edge when you're ready to sell
* Your energy savings add up... fast
* You can save water, too, with energy-efficient plumbing and sprinkler systems
* Green homes can be more durable through the use of recycled construction materials v You'll improve the quality of the air you breathe which, studies show, can make you more productive
* A green home's construction creates less material waste
* A green home helps preserve its surroundings because its built with the land, not against it.
* A green home helps conserve natural resources

The beauty of energy-efficient home construction is that while it may feel like your somehow making sacrifices, you're not. In fact, today's green homes are as luxurious as they are eco-friendly. So going green can not only help to conserve resources for future generations, but help you live a better, healthier life today.
