Many Modular Companies Advertise That They Are Green. How Is Epoch Different?
Epoch has been building Green Homes for many years. As far back as 1998, Epoch partnered with the Department of Energy and The Hickory Consortium to build the Cambridge Co-Housing project, an award winning Energy Star project in Cambridge, MA. We built one of the first LEED Platinum homes in the country, and our factory was the first in the country to be “Green Approved” by the NAHB Research Center. More recently Epoch built a home in the White Mountains of New Hampshire that was rated Platinum LEEDs and also New Hampshire Green Building Program Gold level, the highest award attainable. Epoch offers a wide array of standard and green options, such as Icynene spray foam insulation and low VOC paint. Ask your manufacturer for their resume of Green building projects to see just how extensive their commitment to Green building is. Epoch supports all of the major Green specifications at all levels, but a manufacturer cannot say that their houses are a given level, such as bronze or Platinum
