Energy efficiency and green standards
At Lighthouse Communities, Inc using energy efficient features and building to green standards is not just a trend. It is about building sustainable communities that make the best use of our resources now, while caring for the environment and safeguarding the livelihood of our future generations. We believe every development we undertake should enrich the communities in which we build. We know that preserving our environment is vital to both the health of our planet and the well-being of our cities and neighborhoods.
To earn the ENERGY STAR, a home must meet guidelines for energy effiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These energy-saving features typically make them 20-30% more efficient than standard homes. In the end, your energy-efficient house will provide you with superior comfort and lower operating cost.
Lighthouse supports this initiative and has streamlined its construction standards to improve the quality of our housing and commercial products.
