CHB Eco Custom Homes Makes
Energy Efficiency A Priority |
Prompted by
spiraling energy costs and environmental
concerns, many people have placed a new
emphasis on minimizing energy use. A
good place to start, according to Izzy
of Capital Home Builders & Developers
Inc., is at home. Heating, lighting and
cooling, not to mention food storage and
cooking, all take energy.
"Buildings now use about half the
nation's energy," Izzy said.
Fortunately, there are approaches to new
home construction that can lower that
figure without compromising comfort or
aesthetics.
"Many of
the building techniques and systems that
reduce energy usage can more than pay
for themselves," Izzy said.
"Energy-saving steps that add, perhaps,
$150 to the monthly mortgage payment
could well save the homeowner $250 a
month in utility bills."
Making a
structure more energy efficient can also
reduce some construction costs. As an
example, Izzy said better insulation can
allow a builder to use smaller, less
costly heating and cooling systems.
ENERGY
STAR has urged the construction industry
to build more energy-efficient homes for
years, Izzy said.
And while many builders in the
South Georgia are are not incorporating
advanced techniques in their designs,
Izzy has gone a step further. He tests
each home to certify that it achieves a
higher performance level.
We at CHB
Custom Homes are not surprised of the
builders in Thomasville Georgia
mimicking our building designs. We just
hope that they will eventually mimic our
foot print on our pursuit for a greener
Thomasville and our planet.
