• Central Vac System: The air filtration system is provided by Electrolux. It is a Beam HEPA system. The BEAM HEPA Air Filtration System is the most efficient system that removes airborne allergens and other particulates from the home. The system is 99.97% efficient at removing airborne particulate 0.3 microns and larger. A micron is 1/300 the diameter of a human hair. The True HEPA media in BEAM Air Filtration Systems offers the equivalent of twice or two-and-a-half times the filtering capacity recommended by the nation’s leading green building programs.

• Insulation: The insulation installed is eco-friendly cellulose insulation, versus the traditional fiberglass insulation. This particular type of insulation was made from cellulose which reduces the irritation to skin, as well as to the nose and throat. The cellulose insulation is made from 85% recycled paper fiber and is a high efficiency thermal product. This means that the insulation will hold more heat in the house so that the home will use less energy to keep the home at a comfortable temperature year-round.

Unlike similar products, the Lennox Healthy Climate media air cleaner does not produce ozone, which is a known lung irritant.

This particular product is an environmentally friendly product because no trees were harvested specifically for its manufacture.

Helical piles stabilize the foundation, eliminating the need for time consuming sub walls or augured piles.

• Siding: NichiBoard fiber cement siding was used, which is made completely of post-consumer recycled content, like recycled pulp fiber, fly ash and recycled fiber cement products. Being made of more than 50% post-consumer recycled material, NichiBoard siding is the “Greenest” fiber cement siding on the market.

• Landscaping: Fully landscaped, including small grass space in front, foundation shrubbery, rear patio with brick outdoor fireplace, brick fire pit, vegetable and herb garden, rear wood and side fencing.

• Rain Harvest System: A rain harvest system and water re-use system was installed.
