It’s any home
that uses less energy and fewer harmful materials than the homes of the
past. It’s any home that lowers the
environmental impact of construction.
It’s any home with less maintenance cost. It’s any
home that gives its people a more comfortable and more healthy place to
live.
Sounds nice, but what if I don’t want to live in a
dome, a yurt, or a cave?
You don’t have
to. Our techniques and products
will “green” a home of any style or design. You can have the
handsome home you’ve always wanted while lowering your utility bills and
boosting the marketability of your investment.
This is going to be expensive, isn’t it?
No, it’s
not. Fully 75% of the benefits of
green building can be done with a cost increase of 10% or less. Many features can be employed with no
cost increase at all. And, since
we’re talking about utility bills at less than half of the residential
average, the payback time on any added cost is very short indeed – and
even shorter after the tax incentives which are available to owners of such
homes.
Why Eco Design Homes?
Knowledge. We’ve
been studying and using these techniques for over 30 years. We keep up on all the new innovations
and products that pop up every day.
We know what works and what doesn’t, what’s
essential and what’s optional, what’s cost-effective and what’s not.
Flexibility. We
listen to what you want, and can call on a lifetime of experience with home
construction and design to help make it a reality. We work with specialists in each phase of
construction who show professionalism and enthusiasm for better ways to
build. Call us to see our demonstration
home, newly built in
Aiken, to see what we mean.
Quality.
We personally supervise every detail, from solid foundation to beautiful
trim & finish work, to ensure that your home is something to be proud
of. With us, beauty is more than
skin deep: Behind the custom
cabinetry will be a superior wall system, and you’ll want to brag about
both.
Independent
Verification.
We subscribe to
the Earthcraft and Energy Star programs.
Each home we build is inspected and rated according to their exacting
standards. For more information
go to www.earthcrafthouse.com
and www.energystar.gov.
Confidence. We
offer warranty programs with each of our homes. Talk to
us about the latest details and options.
Commitment.
We believe in this. “Green” building with real substance
behind it is not only of immediate benefit to the homeowner, it will be
essential to our future and our children’s future. We were green
before it was cool – and we always will be.
We start by
listening to you. The home has to
be what you want: Your style, your look, your features, your
feel.
Next we analyze
your site, and help you find a plan (we have thousands) to fit it. We help you take full advantage of views,
land utilization, passive solar applications, and wind orientation.
Then we “green”
the house itself. This involves
every component of the home, from the foundation to the roof. With the techniques
and products we employ, your home will dramatically lower its utility bills,
significantly reduce its environmental impact, and sharply reduce its long-term
maintenance costs.
We look
forward to meeting you, and to helping make your dream home a
reality.
