ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Designed and built to achieve GreenPoint Rated by Build It Green™
Engineered HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) design means improved all-around home performance, comfort and energy efficiency
Homes are designed and built to exceed California energy standards by 15%
HVAC ducts are tightly scaled for optimum performance and lower heating and cooling costs
Quality installed insulation prevents energy loss and helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures
Low-E windows help to keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer, thereby lowering energy use
Fluorescent light fixtures greatly reduce energy use versus traditional incandescent fixtures
Energy Star® appliances offer the great performance you expect while utilizing fewer resources
Building performance is certified through a third-party independent inspection and review to ensure each home is built better for the homeowner and the environment

RESOURCE CONSERVATION

Recycled jobsite materials cut down on waste and our landfill impact at the end of construction
Engineered wood products conserve natural resources and are generally stronger than actual dimensional lumber
Site waste management practices give our worksites a minimum 65% diversion by weight of non-hazardous materials, including green waste
Fiber cement and stucco sidings are resource-efficient materials, minimizing the use of wood products

INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Formaldahyde-free insulation reduces emission in homes
Low-VOC paint products reduce low-level toxic emissions in the home, improving indoor air quality
Carbon monoxide alarms will alert you to potentially dangerous carbon monoxide in the home, adding increased peace of mind
Sealed gas fireplace prevents energy loss year-round and improves comfort and indoor air quality
Vented range hoods increase indoor air quality by diverting cooking odors out of the kitchen rather than recirculating them
Exhaust fans in bathrooms improve air quality by removing humidity from the home

WATER CONSERVATION

Landscaping has been carefully planned to be resource efficient with drought-resistant plants and minimal turf areas, conserving water
High-efficiency irrigation systems use technology to monitor and adjust water usage to conserve water resources
Low-flow toilets, faucets and showerheads reduce unnecessary water waste
Hot water pipe insulation results in efficient hot water distribution, thereby saving energy costs

COMMUNITY

Advanced storm water treatment measures integrated into Vinsanto, including bio-swales, help restore clean water to the environment
Building performance is ensured through an exhaustive, third-party diagnostic review
