Postgreenhomes.com are custom green home builders. Right now they have been working in the Philadelphia Fishtown and East Kensington areas. They have three different floor plans to fit your living space needs. And if your feeling HGTVish you can stop by their site and customize your own.
below are four reason why Post Green Homes think you should want one.
1. You like to save energy. This could be because you understand that saving energy saves money. It could be because you aspire to save the planet. It could be a bit of both. Whatever your reasons, our homes are a good choice if energy efficiency is important to you. By designing to the Passive House standard, we are building some of the most energy efficient homes in the country. Our homes are at least 80% more efficient than the average new code built home. This translates to exceptionally low energy costs and a much smaller impact on the planet.
2.You want to live in a healthy environment. This seems like a no brainer, but you would be surprised how few people take this into account when buying a home. The average American home’s indoor air quality is at least twice as bad as the air outside the home. This is true even if you live in a polluted city. Our homes perform significantly better. By using low VOC and formaldahyde-free products and finishes whenever possible we significantly reduce the amount of chemical off-gassing in our homes. In addition, we mechanically ventilate our homes to make sure stale, unhealthy air never sits inside where you can breath it.
3. You value interesting, high quality design. You might be simply tired of cookie-cutter architecture or have a strong viceral hatred for things like fake dormer windows or knock-off crown molding. We understand. Those beautiful old homes everyone admires were “modern” at one point. It is time to understand that and create the classics of the future. We use only the best, professional architects to design our homes, and we have already seen them win awards for their work on our homes. Professional design is something everyone deserves, and we intend to give it to you.
4. You don’t want to pay a premium for what should be standard. We believe that all homes should be sustainable, healthy and professionally designed. This isn’t green building. It is simply responsible, quality building, and we don’t think you should pay a premium for that. We strive to price our homes for less than or equal to the going rate for new construction in the area in which they are built. Our goal is to consistently improve our processes and cut our costs to offer more and more home for that same price.
