Benefits of Building A Green Home
| PEACE OF MIND WITH THIRD PARTY TESTING: All our homes are tested by a third party to ensure that they meet all standards. |
| LOWER OWNERSHIP COSTS: Energy Star qualified homes use substantially less energy. They are designed to be 15% more efficient than homes built to the 2004 Building Code and 30% more efficient then homes built to the 1993 Building Code. |
| BETTER PERFORMANCE: Energy efficient features deliver better protection against cold, heat, drafts, moisture, pollution, and noise. Ivey homes provide consistent temperatures, improve indoor air quality, nad have greater durability. |
| SMART INVESTMENT: More then 725,000 Energy Star qualified homes have been built across the country. By the end of the decade, more then 2 million homes are expected to earn the Energy Star label. The trend is clear. You cna be confident that your home will have an increasingly valued feature when the time comes to sell. |
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT: Buying an Energy Star qualified home is a decision you can be proud of. In 2007, Ivey Residential certified 50 new Energy Star homes.
This is equivalent to: |
|
Eliminating the emissions from 35 vehicles. |
|
|
Saving 19,200 lbs of coal |
|
|
Planting 5.0 acres of trees |
|
|
Saving homeowners $22,350 on their utility bills |
FINDING THE RIGHT SHADE OF GREEN
| There are many options available to consumers that want a more environmentally friendly and more efficient home. Many of these options have various levels to allow the end consumer to match their budget. |
| That's the secret to advancing green building practices in new home construction. Today's home buyers want to reduce their energy consumption and live in safe and healthy homes, but at a price they can afford. That's why Ivey Residential and J.W. Ivey & Associates has decided to build 100% Energy Star Homes. Energy Star qualified new homes are certified to EPA's strict guidelines for energy efficiency and, as such, insure these homes are more comfortable, more durable, cost less to own, and are good for the environment. |
| Energy Star guidelines are our base line. We work with our home buyers to determine "What is their shade of green" for additional energy and resource saving features. |
