Why go green?

Green-built homes are transforming the residential market and people’s lives everywhere – a fact that is especially true in the Asheville area. 

Green homes are built to be healthier and safer by providing cleaner indoor air. They use less energy and water, leading to monthly savings on utilities. This all means the average upfront costs of building green are quickly recouped, as a homeowner will save money for the duration of the home’s lifespan.

Additionally, green-home owners in Asheville and around the country experience increased market value, heralding a higher resale value when the time comes. They also enjoy state and federal tax credits for their home’s renewable energy use and energy-efficiency.

What makes a home green?

The green-built movement in Asheville has the added bonus of support from the Green Built NC Program, a voluntary, statewide green-building program encompassing all aspects of environmental design and construction including: 

Healthy Site/Landscape: erosion control and preservation of existing trees

Water Efficiency: use of high-efficiency irrigation and plumbing fixtures to reduce water bills

Building Envelope: use of high-efficiency windows and insulation to reduce energy bills

Heating/Cooling Systems: use of high-efficiency equipment and sealed air ducts to increase comfort

Appliances/Lighting:use of Energy Star appliances and lighting to reduce utility bills

Healthy Indoor Air Quality: use of non-toxic finishes and methods to minimize moisture

Materials: use of durable local and recycled content materials for minimal maintenance
