| 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 (certain criteria must be met on site by your builder).
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
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
And 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.
