We just certified another home in the EPA Energy Star program. This was our largest to date at almost 4,300 square feet. This residence just happens to be not only in the same neighborhood of Ocean Ridge Plantation but also on the same Waterstone Crossing street as our last EPA Energy Star rated home. The other home was just over 3,600 square feet and about as complicated as they come from a rating standpoint. Both homes feature high efficiency heat pumps and encapsulated crawlspaces as well as a myriad of other features. This continues our 100% commitment to build only EPA Energy Star rated homes.
We’re very excited to add the Certified Green Professional designation to our repertoire.
Offered by the National Association of Home Builders, the Certified Green Professional designation is another way building professionals can become educated in, and involved with green building.
The designation requires NAHB-approved training, and additional continuing education every three years. Training includes extensive discuss ion on how green homes provide buyers with lower energy costs and higher value, and includes strategies for incorporating green-building principles into homes without driving up the cost of construction.
