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—homes that offer 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.

Home Energy Rating System (HERS®)

The HERS Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET®) that measures the energy performance of a home, and is used to compare the relative energy efficiency of different homes. The lower your home’s HERS Index, the more energy-efficient it is. A David Weekley EnergySaver Home in Tampa averages a 74 on the HERS Index!

Here's more green you might not have seen

More ways a David Weekley EnergySaver Home is a better investment…

High-performance Air Conditioning and Hard-cast Sealed Ductwork

Our very efficient 14 SEER air conditioning system cools your home with less electricity. Less electricity means less money out of your pocket and reduced power company emissions. Also, to avoid unnecessary cooling of your attic, we’ve reduced ductwork leakage. Compared to ordinary homes, an Environments For Living® home uses substantially less energy for heating, cooling and hot water heating.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Carbon monoxide: it’s odorless, colorless and deadly. Every David Weekley EnergySaver Home comes with carbon monoxide detectors.

Environmentally-friendly Refrigerant

We help protect the earth’s ozone layer by using R-410 refrigerant in our air conditioning systems.

R-38 Attic Insulation

Our Environments For Living Program includes single sided, foil faced radiant barrier roof decking to keep your attic cooler and reduce heat load on your A/C system

Double Pane Windows with Low-E Glass

Double pane windows with Low-E glass are proven to be more resistant to heat gain, heat loss and condensation build-up, enhancing your windows’ thermal performance and giving you even higher energy efficiency.

Blocks Moisture. Resists Mold.

The proprietary construction of DensShield® Tile Backer integrates a moisture-resistant core with fiberglass mats and a unique heat-cured acrylic coating. The result: the only backer in the industry with built-in moisture and microbial barriers. That means DensShield keeps moisture where it belongs—in the tub, shower or pool.
