What type of green building tools does Crystal Peak and Heritage Homes utilize? Can I get my system built home certified?
A. Energy Star is the first and most important step to building green. Most green building programs have Energy Star mandatory as part of meeting their certification. System built modular construction is inherently green with their efficiency structure. Waste produced from construction of the home is cut down 50% to 70%. Heritage Homes takes it a step farther by following and meeting the Green Building Nebraska program. Most green building programs look at the whole picture. Energy efficiency, water efficiency, lot development, resource embodied energy, indoor air quality, landscaping, homeowner maintenance and the home’s overall impact on the environment are all taken into account. Crystal Peak, by having a LEED AP on staff and being a member of the US Green Building Council, can certify your home through the LEED for Homes program or through a local adopted green building program.
