Green Remodeling & Energy Efficiency

Why go green?

  • Increasing energy efficiency can offset the monthly costs of a home equity loan by dramatically lowering energy bills
  • Green remodeling can adapt a home to regional conditions (such as natural landscaping), provide increased comfort (such as better air quality), and make a home easier and cheaper to maintain with durable products if maintained properly
  • Many energy efficiency upgrades qualify for federal tax credits

What are the top ways to increase energy efficiency?

  • Install appropriate levels of insulation
  • Install high-efficiency windows instead of those that minimally meet the energy code
  • Seal all exterior penetrations in areas being remodeled
  • Purchase only EnergyStar®-rated appliances
  • Install only low-flow water fixtures
  • Upgrade to at least an EnergyStar®-rated water heater, or better yet, a tankless water heater
  • Purchase the highest efficiency HVAC system you can afford and make sure it is correctly sized for the area you want to condition.

  • A master bedroom and bath on the first floor
  • A low or no-threshold entrance to the home with an overhang
  • Lever-style door handles
  • No change in levels on the main floor
  • Bright lighting in all areas, especially places like stairways
