What Makes An Environmentally Friendly Home?
What makes modular homes more environmentally friendly is the state-of-the-art
construction technologies used in our factory when building each
home. Because modular homes are built in a factory in a controlled
environment, they make the most efficient use of energy during construction
while greatly reducing waste.
Modular construction techniques results in a “tight”
house, which means that less air escapes through holes or seams,
resulting in a house that requires much less energy to heat or cool.
According to a recent University study, wood-frame homes are more
environmentally friendly than those constructed of steel or concrete.
Additionally, researchers, at the Consortium for Research on Renewable
Industrial Materials, concluded that most of the energy required
to build a home is consumed in the manufacture of building materials
– not in the actual construction of a home.
Custom modular homes that are environmentally friendly and have a 5-star energy rating are available by Reliant Custom Modular Home Builder throughout New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, including Westchester and Fairfield counties and Hudson Valley region of NY. |
