Home  Signature Homes Oak Hill Green Community
 It’s hard to pick up a magazine or turn on the television today without seeing some reference to “green.” The environmental and global economic impacts of human behavior are rapidly becoming more of a concern to consumers and businesses alike. But what does “green” mean in the world of homebuilding and homeownership? South on Peoria/Elm to 121st East to Skyline Drive turn South on 12th Street East
OakHill can help you have an impact on your practices, in the homes that you build and live in? At OakHill, the focus is not only on the home itself, but on the impact of the entire building process on the environment and economy. Our goal is to take the mystery out of “green” and allow our clients to have an impact on the homes that they build and live in.
In our experience, we’ve found that some of the most common questions about green home building are:
What is Green Home Building?
Why Build a Green Home?
What is Green Home Building?
There are many definitions of green home building in the marketplace. If you talk to five people, you’ll get as many different opinions on what constitutes “green”. At OakHill, green building is responsible building - building that takes "building better homes" one step further - to focus not only on the building science of the home itself, but on the impact of the entire building process on the environment and economy.
OakHill defines a green home as a home that is built substantially better than a typical code-built home. Many home buyers think that a home that is built to code is a high quality home. They do not realize code is only a set of minimum performance standards, and a code-built home is the lowest performing home that a builder can legally build.
A green home is a home that is designed and built to deliver exceptional performance in all of the following areas:
Health and safety
Durability
Energy efficiency
Water efficiency
Environmentally responsible use of materials and land
OakHill is aligning their homes with the expectations of their home buyers, including the emerging demand for resource efficient, planet friendly designs.
Why Build a Green Home?
Fundamentally, a green home is a better home. Frankly, who wouldn’t want a more comfortable, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly home to live in? Green homes mean higher quality homes, and a higher performing, environmentally responsible home is a better built home. As homeowners demand better built homes, OakHill is here to answer the call.
Green home building is a process, not a product. This process focuses on optimizing the performance of the home through changes to design and construction practices, as well as changing the way in which everyone involved in the building process approaches the business of building homes. This process improves the homes and environment that we live in, and OakHill practices these fundamentals in every home that they build.
