The Benefits of an EarthCraft House

Owning an environmentally friendly house doesn’t mean making sacrifices. In fact, an EarthCraft House is one of the most high performance, durable and resource-efficient homes you can buy.

EarthCraft House is a green building program that serves as a blueprint for healthier, more comfortable homes, which reduce utility bills and protect the environment.
EarthCraft House…
...
offers the benefits of a healthy living environment.
... integrates a systems approach to building that ensures increased comfort and improved indoor air quality in the home.
... reassures home builders and buyers so they can have the peace of mind knowing that they have done the right thing for the environment.

Homeowners benefit from:
Savings on operating, health and repair costs
Conservation of resources and energy
Improved air and water quality
Enhanced quiet, durability, and comfort
 

Smart homeowners know it is the "cost of ownership" that truly determines the affordability of a home. In an EarthCraft House, the true cost of ownership is apparent with the first month's utility bill.

The Lifestyle You Want

Any size and type of home can be an EarthCraft House. Builders and home buyers have freedom in selecting which environmental measures are best suited for the home they are constructing or remodeling.
