At Village Homes, every home we build is BUILT GREEN.
For you, that means greater Energy Efficiency
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.
Sealed Combustion 90% Efficient Furnace
Cleaner air – inside and out: Sealed
combustion systems reduce the risk of
harmful gases back-drafting into the home
Our homes have the most energy
efficient forced air furnace available
on the market today, reducing energy
consumption by 10-15%.
A Well-Designed Duct System
Typical duct systems leak 20-40% of the heated
air that is supposed to be getting to the rooms
of your home.
A well-designed, well-sealed duct system should
be a part of your energy-efficient home. All joints
and penetrations should be sealed with brush-on
low/non-toxic mastic, not duct tape.
Low-E Windows
The benefits of Low-E windows:
36% more efficient than average new windows
reduce monthly heating and cooling bills
help protect against fabric fading
less prone to condensation
block over 59% of summer sun heat
make the home more comfortable
Precision Mechanical Sizing
Using advanced processes to calculate the
optimal size of a mechanical system results
in a more efficient and comfortable home.
Most home heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning systems are too big for
the home – often by as much as 40%.
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.
