Environments For Living® Gold Level Program

The Environments For Living program provides a rigorous set of requirements for home builders who’ve made a commitment to go the extra mile. It’s a program that treats a home as a “system of systems” that work together, with limited guarantees on comfort and heating and cooling energy use. A home built under the Environments For Living program is an energy-efficient home that has been constructed using the principles of building science — each home offers energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality and durability benefits.

Environments For Living Guaranteed Energy Savings

Each home that closes will be given a certificate that indicates the average yearly maximum energy usage for heating and air conditioning (only) to be guaranteed by Environments For Living. This will vary based on the size, number of windows, etc. per home.

Third-Party Inspections

The more eyes, the better. Unbiased inspections are performed on your wall insulation, thermal envelope and HVAC duct work prior to drywall installation. As part of the inspection process, your home will receive an Environments For Living energy audit which utilizes a thermal bypass inspection, a duct blaster and blower door test. The duct blaster test is performed on your HVAC’s ductwork before drywall is installed to verify duct leakage is equal to or less than 3%, one of the key components ensuring your home qualifies for Environments For Living Energy-Efficient Certification. A blower door test is done after drywall is installed to check the tightness of the home.

Performance Verification

Each and every home we build in our EnergySaver program is required to undergo independent third-party performance verification inspections. While many of the green products installed in a home can be easily identified, it’s not so easy to judge the quality of installation. This can make a big difference in the performance of your home and its effect on your pocketbook.
