Everyday Green
Built Green Homes in Seattle are extremely energy efficient saving the owners money month after month on home operating cost. Energy efficiency can be achieved in many ways utilizing advance design and building science techniques incorporated with a “whole-system” approach to home building.
A good example of this would be in a new home that could get away with using a smaller more efficient heating and cooling system because the builder has increased the normal amount of insulation by using advance framing techniques, installing high-performance windows and doors, advance air sealing techniques to minimize air and water infiltration, and positioning the home to take advantage of the sun and prevailing wind patterns.
Not all green built homes are created equal, it’s important to talk to with a knowledge real estate broker that is familiar with all of the different levels and components of a green built home in Seattle.
