The science of building has taken a giant leap forward. The energy efficiency of homes has increased tremendously. Many of the materials and products now used in construction did not exist even 10 years ago. Homes represent the very best of this progress. They are built to the highest new home standards.
Homes incorporate the broadest range of proven technology and products available to home buyers.
From framing materials to heating, cooling and ventilation systems, you can expect high quality and proven performance. The R-2000 Standard delivers more than comfort and energy efficiency, it also means careful choice of materials and products to protect our natural environment. For instance, R-2000 builders are asked to select recycled materials as well as products and finishes which put fewer chemicals into the home's air. Manufactured wood products that make more efficient use of forest resources are also recommended. The use of water-based paints and finishes means less toxic waste and also reduces the amount of solvents and other chemicals in your home's indoor air.
