At Village Homes, every home we build is BUILT GREEN.
For you, that means Lasting Comfort
Setback Thermostat
A setback thermostat can be programmed to turn
the heat down when you leave for the day and turn
it back up just before you get home, helping you:
Save money – by reducing your utility bill
Reduce air pollution – the less energy needed,
the less pollution created
Save time – you don’t have to remember when
to turn the heat up or down
Sealed Combustion Fireplace*
A sealed combustion, or direct-vent,
fireplace avoids using conditioned
inside air – saving you money.
A gas fireplace creates the aesthetic
benefit of a fireplace without energy
waste and associated pollution of
a typical wood-burning fireplace.

Blown-In Cellulose*
Recycled newspapers make excellent insulation, and because it's blown-in, it acts as a sound barrier too!
Instead of ending up in a landfill, many recycled newspspers were used in our homes - behind the walls and in the attic.

Drainage Plane
A properly installed drainage plane will help to
prevent the intrusion of water through the exterior
walls of a home – think of it as a rain slicker.
While Colorado only sees an average of 13 inches
of rain a year, our rain is typically “wind driven”,
making a drainage plane all the more critical to
the durability of your home.
A Well-Sealed Home
Advanced sealing methods will
virtually eliminate any cold
(or hot) drafts from sneaking in
the home during the winter
(and summer) months, making it a
comfortable place to live, while at
the same time reducing energy bills.
High-Efficiency Heating/Cooling Systems
The duct work is sealed with mastic
(gray substance). That, combined with a
high-efficiency furnace and non-ozone
depleting refrigerant delivery system.
Improves indoor comfort, saves you money
and reduces outdoor air pollution.
Fiberglass Exterior Door
Fiberglass doors reduce the
need for wood products,
and have a higher R-value
than wood.
Fiberglass doors are highly
durable and require
virtually no maintenance.
