Working directly with homebuyers, I am often asked about green building features. People want to know not only what to look for in a home but also how to know that there really are energy savings built into the home.

Earth Advantage® certification is a great way for a buyer to know that a builder is committed to providing energy savings for the homeowner and as well as using green building practices. Woodhill Homes currently offers Earth Advantage certified homes as part of their Responsible Home Collection in Woodhill Park, Bend 10 and now, Reed Pointe.

It is not a secret that home sales around the nation have declined from peak levels reached in 2005. One can speculate about the reasons for the downturn, but I’m interested in finding answers to why it has continued despite solid fundamentals.

During recent discussions with realtors, I have discovered that there are consumers actively looking to purchase homes but that they don’t have any sense of urgency.

Therefore, I pose this question to our readers, “What are the reasons that many actively looking home buyers are sitting on the sidelines, seemingly waiting for something to happen? What is it that they’re waiting for?”

What is a “Responsible Home“?

In Woodhill Homes‘ opinion, a responsible home incorporates Earth Advantage requirements, Energy Star standards and is affordably priced. These homes are built more like a sports car then a truck. They are high performing and energy efficient. How do we accomplish this?

To be a certified Earth Advantage and Energy Star builder, Woodhill Homes must build to strict building science guidelines. One of the goals of the Responsible Home is to build highly energy efficient homes using sustainable building products. Woodhill Park is our first subdivision incorporating these building practices. The homes in Woodhill Park are constructed with energy efficiency in mind. Highly energy efficient windows, specific framing and insulation techniques are used to ensure there are no air leaks. A third party tests every house to ensure Woodhill Homes meets the required air tightness.
