BENEFITS OF OWNING A GREEN BUILT HOME

J     With electric and water prices on the rise,  properly sizing and using high efficient water heaters and HVAC (Heating ventilating air conditioning) saves money monthly. 

J     They also require less maintenance than standard units.

J     Sealed duct work in the HVAC system ensures that the correct amount of warm or cool air is reaching every room and not wasted in the attic space of your home.

J     Improved air filtration methods offer added assurance to families with concern for indoor air quality.

J     Using Low or No VOC (volatile organic compound) paint improves indoor air quality.

J     Sealing practices used to isolate the garage from the house assures that fumes that come out of the car won’t go into the house.

J     Energy Star appliances use less electricity and water than average appliances.

J     Lighting packages that include compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs), offer excellent light quality, extremely long life, and require a fraction of the electricity of normal bulbs.

J     Insulated walls and roofs are an integral part of an energy efficient and comfortable home.  By using foam insulation, blown insulation, and properly installed batts no energy is wasted in heating and cooling the home.

J     Insulated Low-E (low emissive) windows make a significant contribution to the overall performance of the home by resisting the transfer of hot and cold air into the home.

J     Low flow faucets, shower heads and toilets cut back on the use of water.

J     Advanced irrigation practices take the guess work out of watering the lawn and comply with local water restrictions.  Using Florida Friendly Landscaping and drip systems in plant beds saves water, protects Florida’s natural environment and saves money monthly on water and electric bills.

J     Engineered lumber provides a straighter, stronger, more consistent structure that protects forests by using only fast growing, rapidly renewable tree species.

J     Although individual use will cause savings to vary, savings can be as much as $1,200 per year.  Using that savings towards mortgage payments could reduce the length of a mortgage by about 10 years.
