It's all about reducing our carbon footprint while we are here...right? Imagine Homes is one of the few track builders to win awards in this arena. Their hard work starts with contributing as little as possible to the landfills, flows into their spray foam insulation, shows in the choices of sustainable products and low VOC materials...right down to the energy efficient appliances and water saving dual flush toilets.
Woodside Homes is also getting into the action by building 3 homes to test and measure the benefits of energy efficient building materials over a 15 month period. One home is going to be the ultra efficient home to include solar panels, spray foam insulation and energy efficient appliances and materials(30K over the price of todays normal home). The second home will not have solar panels but will include all other energy efficicient building materials(only 20K over normal). The third home is the control home and is built to normal standards. It should be very interesting to see the reports after this 15 month study.
Don't forget that you can always retrofit your current home to be a bit or a lot greener.
