Green Building
Earth Friendly and Sustainable Home Construction
At HFH-MW/GW we are committed to making our new homes as earth friendly and energy efficient as possible.
Our goal is two fold:
1) To enable our homeowners to operate their home cost effectively
2) To use enduring and sustainable products that are friendly to the environment
Strategies we use to consistently attain an Energy Star HERS rating below 60 include:
• 6 inch walls
• Styrofoam insulation on the foundation
• Heavy insulation in the attic
• Energy Star rated appliances
• In Millbury, solar panels (donated by Alteris Renewables) for electricity
• All homeowners are also started with compact florescent light bulbs.
