Built Green

Built Green Features Inside A Powell Home

We Use Non-Toxic/Low-Toxic Outdoor Materials for Landscaping
Helping to Build Biodiversity and Increasing Soil Nutrient Reserves Without Contaminating Waterways
We Fully Insulate Corners by Requiring 2-Stud Corners Instead of 3-Stud Corners
Permitting Space for Additional Insulation
We Install Thermostats With On-Switch For Furnace Fan To Circulate Air
Allowing Warm Air to Circulate Throughout the House Without Running the Furnace
We Clean Furnace and Air Ducts Thoroughly Before Residents Move In
Providing Better Air Quality
We Verify Seals At Doors, Windows, Plumbing and Electrical Penetrations Against Moisture and Air Leaks
Preventing Cold Air From Entering Rooms, Thus Limiting High Relative Humidity which Restricts Condensation and Mold Growth
We Use Gas Fireplaces
