Building a Green Home in the Raleigh NC Area
A “certified green home” provides peace of mind that comes from a new home with increased efficiency and reduced impacts on the environment and your family’s health. A certified green home incorporates environmental considerations into every phase and aspect of the home building process. And it’s all independently verified by a third party inspector
Raleigh custom home builder Stanton Homes will work with you to consider hundreds of green options for a beautiful home that meets the seven guiding principles of green building.
Green building programs in North Carolina’s Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area typically have three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, that provide staggered approaches to effectively and holistically weave green building options into every step of construction.
Nearly any home plan can be built green, and certified by award-winning local third party inspectors and innovators such as Southern Energy Management. A free building cost estimate can help you get started with your budgeting process.
