Top Benefits of Building Green—Building Homes With the Future in Mind

With the summer temperatures steadily climbing, now is the perfect time to address the importance of energy efficiency, particularly when it comes to cooling your new home. At Elliott Homes, building green isn’t a new concept for our team, and throughout each part of our homebuilding process we always make it our priority to keep energy-efficiency top-of-mind. From reducing your carbon footprint to saving you money on your energy bills, read on to see the benefits of building green with our team of experts at Elliott Homes. 

Reduced energy costs

One of the most significant benefits of building green is the reduced energy costs that homeowners experience over time. With energy-saving dual pane windows that feature spectrally selective glass, superior wall and attic insulation, high-efficiency HVAC equipment with a programmable thermostat and energy star appliances that save 10-50% on energy and water costs over standard appliances—our homeowners see significant savings in their utility bills with products that last longer and perform better than those found in older homes. 

Improved air quality

With advancements in building technology and materials, our homes at Elliott Homes are built with superior ventilation systems and air filtration systems, which can significantly improve indoor air quality, and our insulation practices can also reduce the infiltration of outdoor pollutants and allergens. By investing in an Elliott home, our homeowners can enjoy a healthier living environment and breathe easier knowing that their home was built with their health and comfort in mind. 

Increased home value

As more and more individuals are becoming environmentally conscious, energy-efficient homes are becoming more popular for potential homeowners. It’s for this reason that homes that were created with green building practices in mind are potentially more valuable than traditional homes on the resale market. For many individuals that are looking to purchase a new home, finding a home that was built with energy-efficiency in mind is a huge selling point as they can save homeowners money on their energy bills and also come with tax incentives and rebates that homeowners can take advantage of.

Reduced maintenance costs 

Green buildings also have lower maintenance costs than traditional homes as the materials used in green buildings are durable and require less maintenance than traditional materials. This means that homeowners won’t have to worry about the cost of repairing or replacing major components of the home, such as the HVAC system, roof or foundation, for many years to come. 

Homes built for the future

By incorporating sustainable practices into the construction and design of all of our exceptionally-built homes at Elliott Homes, we are doing our part to reduce energy consumption, decrease waste and promote a healthier, resilient future for all of our homeowners.
