Green Building

SMART   GREEN BUILDING IS SMART BECAUSE THE PRODUCTS AND TECHNIQUES WE USE CONSERVE ENERGY, WATER, AND MONEY. HIGH QUALITY WINDOWS, HIGHLY EFFICIENT HVAC UNITS, ON-DEMAND TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATERS, SUPERIOR FOAM INSULATION - THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE GREEN TECHNIQUES WE EMPLOY. THE MORE GREEN TECHNIQUES ARE USED, THE MORE EFFICIENT HEATING, COOLING, AND MAINTAINING ONE’S HOME BECOMES. NOT ONLY CAN OUR APPROACH SAVE MONEY OVER THE LIFE OF YOUR HOME, BUT IT CAN ALSO INCREASE OVERALL MARKET VALUE OF YOUR HOME.

	HEALTHY
	SPENDING TIME AT HOME SHOULD BE SAFE AND HEALTHY. THE GREEN ELEMENTS WE INCLUDE IN OUR HOMES REDUCE POLLUTANTS AND IMPROVE VENTILATION. THIS MEANS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE BREATHING CLEANER AIR AND ENJOYING A HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT. HOMEOWNERS CAN HAVE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THE BEST MATERIALS ARE IN PLACE WITHIN THEIR HOMES.
	ENERGY STAR
	OUR HOMES MUST MEET RIGOROUS STANDARDS AND BE APPROVED BY 3RD PARTY INSPECTORS TO QUALIFY FOR THIS DESIGNATION. "A HOME THAT EARNS THE ENERGY STAR IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EFFICIENT THAN A STANDARD HOME. BY PURCHASING AN ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED HOME, YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE FEATURES YOU DESIRE IN YOUR HOME PLUS LOWER UTILITY BILLS - ALL WHILE HELPING TO PREVENT GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS." - www.energystar.gov
	GREEN CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
	WE ARE PREPARED TO ASSIST HOMEOWNERS IN OBTAINING VARIOUS GREEN BUILDING CERTIFICATIONS. IN PARTICULAR, WE REGARD “LEED” (LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN) AS AN EXCELLENT RATING SYSTEM. LEED FOR HOMES IS A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PROGRAM FOR THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE OF GREEN HOMES. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON LEED FOR HOMES, VISIT www.usgbc.org. THE USGBC MEMBER LOGO IS A TRADEMARK OWNED BY THE U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL AND IS USED BY PERMISSION. THE LOGO SIGNIFIES ONLY THAT PLATTNER BAILEY CUSTOM HOMES IS A USGBC MEMBER; USGBC DOES NOT REVIEW, CERTIFY, OR ENDORSE THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OFFERED BY ITS MEMBERS.
