Building Practices

• Efficiently designed floor plans that prevent energy loss
• 13 SEER rated high-efficiency furnaces and air conditioning systems
• Heating and air duct systems with improved insulation and seals preventing air loss
• Dual pane energy efficient windows with 12-inch damage resistant flashing on all four sides to prevent water intrusion around windows
• True vapor barrier under all house slabs to prevent moisture infiltration into the home
• Extra thick 1 1/8 inch plywood on stair treads and 23/32 inch plywood at second story sub-floors preventing heat loss between floors
• Double layer of water-proof insulation wrap around the entire building protecting each home from exterior weather conditions
• On siding elevations, a cementations board is used, which is more efficient than the typical siding material to further weatherize the home
• Use a composite product for the water piping supply lines in the walls for a more efficient and functional water system
• Fiberglass entry doors with “Q-Lon Weather Tight” weather stripping
• Energy efficient hot water heaters that heat quickly and prevents heat loss due to internal R-12 insulation
• Low flow water conservation closets and faucets decreases water usage
• Programmable thermostats efficiently stablize the temperatures within the home
• Energy saving fluorescent lights at selected locations within each home
• Timer controls on bathroom and garage lighting to save on electric costs
• Energy efficient kitchen appliances
• Building scraps and un-used materials are submitted to recycling centers
• Drought tolerate landscaping at select projects
• Energy efficient appliances
