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.
