As a green home builder in Western North Carolina, we take into account many green initiatives when designing a sustainable, energy efficient green home. The concept of green home building extends beyond the structure. We consider environmentally friendly building sites and the use of renewable resources. As a green home builder, using green construction techniques, we can help enhance the quality of life in your new home…and, we’re an ENERGY STAR® Partner!
If it’s a green certified home that you are interested in building, we can build your green home to spec following the guidelines established by Green Home Certification programs within the state and nationally. We can assist and guide you with making the decisions that will be right for you and your green home building project.
There are three main green building certification programs in Western North Carolina that can qualify your custom built home as a “Green Certified Home”:
*ENERGY STAR® Qualified New Home Construction…To earn the ENERGY STAR, a home must meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These homes are 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.
*NC Healthy Built Homes…a voluntary, statewide green building certification program in North Carolina…The NC HealthyBuilt Homes (HBH) Program encompass all aspects of environmental design and green construction initiatives.
*LEED Certified…an internationally recognized green building certification system used in North Carolina…LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally-recognized green building certification system. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
These “Green Building” certification programs share a basic common goal of energy efficiency, healthy air quality and sustainable construction practices.
