Green Building – Lot Design, Preparation, and Development
Why should you consider a green home in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area?
- Lower energy bills.
- Less carbon footprint.
- Healthier indoor air.
- Reduced warranty claims.
- Improved durability and lower maintenance.
- Better resale value.
A “certified green home” is independently verified across seven categories, to ensure all standards are met for increased efficiency, better health, and reduced negative environmental impact.
Lot Design, Preparation and Development
Resource-efficient site design and development practices help reduce environmental impacts. Green design principles include things like saving trees, constructing onsite storm water retention/infiltration features, and orienting the home for maximum passive solar heating and cooling.
There are three basic levels of certification that can be attained by meeting a minimum number of individual attributes, each of which is assigned a point value. As an example, Bronze certification typically centers on things like:
- Certified Green Training
- Protected Home Sites
- Natural Vegetation
- Hydrozoning
- Erosion Control
- Limited Impact on Land
- Shared Driveways or Parking Areas
- Optimization of Solar Orientation
