Whitaker Homes, a green home builder located in Peoria, Illinois, uses the latest green home building construction technology to design and build environmentally friendly and energy efficient new homes.
Why Does Building Green Homes Matter?
Many people build green for the ultimate energy cost savings, but soon discover it’s much more than that. The health of families living in green homes is improved by using products that reduce toxic release of gas or use natural materials. Being environmentally friendly is good for more than just the environment.
The process of working with a green builder is much more interactive than traditional building, so homeowners have a deeper connection to the home they will live in. Green homes are built to be more comfortable in their design, materials and furnishings, and truly fit your lifestyle.
What Makes A Home “Green”?
We consider five areas as part of the Whitaker Eco-Foundation:
1) Intelligent Design
2) Eco Materials
3) Energy Efficiency
4) Water Conservation
5) Healthy Environment
There are many processes and things to consider for each of these areas, including landscaping, foundations, structural systems, finishes and trims, roofing, doors and windows, insulation, flooring, sealants, paints and coatings, electrical, lighting, energy sources, mechanical systems, plumbing, appliances, and even furniture and finishings for built-in structures.
BUT IT ALL STARTS WITH SMART DESIGN. WHITAKER DESIGN.
