Leed and Energy-star Certified Homes
LEED and STAR certified homes are safer, healthier, more comfortable and more durable than standard homes. They have lower energy and water bills, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and fewer problems with mold, mildew and other indoor toxins.
WHY CHOOSE LEED HOMES?
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Homes is a rating system that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes. A green home uses less energy, water and natural resources, creates less waste and is healthier and more comfortable.
WHY CHOOSE STAR HOMES?
Energy Star certified homes can include a variety of energy-efficient features that contribute to improved home quality and comfort, and to lower energy demand and reduced air pollution. These features include effective Insulation, high-performance windows, tight construction and ducts, efficient heating and cooling equipment. These homes are at least 15% more energy-efficient than traditionally manufactured homes.
WHY CHOOSE GREEN HOMES?
What is building green?
Green Modular Home Building is a design and construction process that saves energy and natural resources. A green built modular home uses less energy, water and natural resources, creates less waste and promotes the health and well-being of the home owners and their families.
Why is modular manufacturing greener?
Modular manufacturing allows us to recycle materials, reduce waste and have a low environmental impact. Every Westchester Modular Home is built in a climate-controlled factory in Wingdale, NY, which reduces the chances of weather-related damage or costly delays.
How much more efficient are Energy Star certified homes?
These green prefab homes are at least 15% more energy efficient than typical homes. Built to the 2004 International Residential Code (IRC), our green modular homes include additional energy-saving features that typically make them up to 20-30% more efficient than standard homes.
How can I get my modular home Energy Star certified?
The Energy Star certification is done right in our Wingdale, NY factory. What does this mean to our customers? Westchester has eliminated the need for an outside rater to complete the Energy Star certification. This in-plant process will save our customers time and money.
