Have you heard of an EarthCraft home? EarthCraft Virginia provides a new construction certification process that serves as a blueprint for
healthy,
comfortable homes that
reduces utility bills and
protects the environment.
More specifically, EarthCraft promotes
diligent airsealing and
energy efficiency. Airsealing of the building envelope and its mechanical systems, while still allowing for fresh air intake, provides a
tighter building envelope at little additional cost. There is
less communication of air and sound between units and
better indoor air quality through the use of managed fresh-air intakes. Thus,
projects are more energy efficient, less costly to occupy, and more durable overall.
EarthCraft homes also make use of
EnergyStar appliances.
