IF YOU ARE COMMITTED TO REDUCING YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT AND MINIMIZING THE TOXINS ENTERING YOUR BODY THAN OUR HOMES ARE FOR YOU...

Climate Change: Did you know that buildings account for 49% of greenhouse gas emissions in our country? The average US home releases nearly twice as much CO2 as the average car. With this in mind, our homes were built utilizing a technologically advanced building technique that dramatically reduced the amount of energy and materials that were consumed and wasted in the construction process. Our homes were also framed with 100% recyclable steel and expanded polystyrene foam insulation ("EPS"), two materials that are unmatched in terms of performance and durability. Finally, we anticipate that our homes will consume 75% less energy than if they had been built conventionally.

Air Quality: Did you know that the EPA has declared that indoor air pollution levels can be 96 times greater than outdoor pollution levels? They consider indoor air quality to be one of the "greatest health concerns in this country." With this in mind, we built our homes out of steel and EPS, which do not release harmful toxins into the air the way that wood and fiberglass do. We also used advanced technology to construct air tight building envelopes that greatly reduce air infiltration and the unintended movement of allergens and toxins from the outside into your home. Finally, the EPS insulating system virtually eliminates the conditions that allow mold and mildew growth.

Energy Efficiency: Did you know that buildings are responsible for 50% of all of the energy consumed in our country? Buildings also use 75% of the electricity consumed in our country. With this in mind, we designed our homes to be as energy efficient as possible. In addition to utilizing solar power to heat water, we used high performance EPS insulated walls and roofs to create a home that is so energy efficient that heating and cooling bills will become a negligible expense. In fact, we are so confident of your home's energy efficiency that WE WILL PAY YOUR HEATING AND COOLING BILLS FOR YOU!
