We’re building to tough Energy Stretch Code standards, which means Winterberry homes are 30 percent more energy efficient than a typical code-built home. And, we’ve put them through a battery of tests to prove it.
Important elements include 2 x 6 construction, abundant insulation, low-E Energy Star rated high-performance windows, air tight construction, high efficiency heating and cooling systems, and state of the art on-demand hot water systems. It all adds up to minimal monthly bills for you and less reliance on fossil fuels for a healthier planet.
Greener Landscaping too
We’ve also implemented earth-friendly landscaping techniques that conserve water, protect the environment, and improve your view. Our rain gardens use native plants like the winterberry that eliminate the need for retention ponds and eliminate erosion problems. In addition, we’ve designed with minimal use of annual plants that require a lot of watering, and use native perennials that are tough and hardy.
