Energy-Efficient Green Homes
Real Savings From The Moment You Move In We’re committed to building more energy-efficient homes and we were the first homebuilder in Northeast Florida to register a home in the USGBC—LEED for Homes Pilot Program. LEED Certified homes typically reduce utility bills by 30-50%! As energy costs increase wouldn’t it be nice to have the utility companies paying you for the power your home puts back into the grid? There are many different levels of “Green” electrical products that reduce or eliminate energy consumption from utility companies. We will work with you to determine the best fit for your budget and lifestyle. We will also compile a rate-of-return analysis to show you the length of time to payback the initial upfront costs. Some of the products and construction methods that we can use in your home include:
- Solar Water Heater
- Tankless Water Heaters
- High efficiency water heaters
- Higher SEER Heating and Air Conditioning Systems (HVAC)
- Zoned HVAC Systems
- Programmable Thermostats
- Low- E Windows
- Energy Star Rated Light Fixtures, such as LED fixtures
- Energy Star Rated Appliances
- Dimmer switches
- Smart home technology
- Increased R-values in insulation and sound quality, such as using sprayed Icynene® or Asure-R
