Why Built Green™? It just makes sense.

For the environment, for our health, and for energy savings. We build green, resource-efficient homes to exceed building codes to provide you with years of healthy, quality living, while protecting our precious Northwest environment.

Well-designed ventilation, a strategic choice of materials, and efficient heating and cooling with a tightly sealed, well-insulated building envelope mean you will breathe fresher air and have fewer drafts. Our paint is low-VOC and doesn’t have that nasty smell. We will have Four Star Certification with third party verification. We settle for nothing but the best!

Bella Housa homes are ENERGY STAR homes. ENERGY STAR homes improve home quality and homeowner comfort, and lower energy demand and reduced air pollution. ENERGY STAR also encourages the use of energy-efficient lighting and appliances, as well as features designed to improve indoor air quality.

ENERGY STAR homes are independently verified to be at least 30% more energy efficient than homes built to the 1993 national Model Energy Code or 15% more efficient than state energy code, whichever is more rigorous. These savings are based on heating, cooling, and hot water energy use and are typically achieved through a combination of: 

• building envelope upgrades,
• high performance windows,
• controlled air infiltration,
• upgraded heating and air conditioning systems,
• tight duct systems and
• upgraded water-heating equipment

Just one ENERGY STAR qualified new home can keep 4,500 pounds of greenhouse gases out of our air each year.
