Build It Green
Country Cottage Estates is proud to offer homes that are green, healthier for the environment, and energy efficient.
By reducing waste and making better use of materials, we play a big role in reducing pollution and conserving natural resources in our area.
The process begins during the planning and design stage and continues right through to how that home functions for it's owner.We are committed to providing a high-quality, comfortable living environment for our homeowners.
We build great homes by never losing sight of what is important: our customers, our employees, our communitites and the environment in which we live.
Here’s how we’re going green:
-
I-joists in all homes = less waste, less use of wood fiber
-
Energy Star-rated HVAC systems
-
Digital Programmable Thermostats
-
Low flow faucets, showerheads and toilets
-
Thermal breaks in concrete basement walls
-
Low E-windows
-
Vapor barrier interior paint
-
Blown cellulose attic insulation (R-38)
-
Gas fireplaces with non-standing pilot systems = saves natural gas
-
All homes are wrapped and taped with moisture and air infiltration barrier material (Tyvek)
