Green building focuses on creating an energy efficient envelope using renewable materials as well as providing easier maintenance, better indoor air quality, tighter ductworks, best use of space, passive solar orientation and use of less-toxic materials. There is no single rigid formula for building a green home. It requires a sliding scale approach based on the home's site, your budget, the local climate and many other factors. But no matter what home you purchase from us, it will be green. And we leave the choice of greener or greenest up to you.

Every Discovery Custom Homes green home includes...

• Protected Building Materials - Keeping building materials inside reduces losses from theft or environmental. We use everything we buy, so you don't pay for negligence or waste.
• Homes Built Inside - Building in a centralized building center provides higher efficiency, greater precision and improved craftsmanship. It also significantly reduces the environmental impact of the noise pollution and erosion created from 6 to 12 months of on-site construction.
• SmartPlus Construction - Every component we build is a system within a system. This reduces waste and increases efficiency. No wasted plumbing runs, duct runs or electrical runs. No wasted lumber, decking or sheathing. Less waste period.
• Low or No VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) Paints and Adhesives - This improves the air quality in your home and in the environment.
• Blower Testing - Our duct blower testing assures efficient air flow and tightly sealed ductwork throughout.
• Recycling - Unlike traditional site-built construction which contributes more than 60% of landfill waste, we rigorously sort, reuse and recycle. You don't pay for our waste.
