Earth Friendly Homes
Our
sister company, Earth Friendly Homes, LLC. specializes in the design
and construction of homes that are attractive, healthy for the occupants,
energy-efficient, make use of solar energy and natural lighting,
and incorporate green building materials and construction techniques.
Earth
Friendly Homes are built using the Reward®
Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF)for both the foundation walls and
the walls above grade. This creates an adjusted R-Value of R-33,
while providing a much stronger and tighter structure than is possible
with wood or steel framed construction.
Earth
Friendly Homes are designed around pre-determined specifications
to cut down on design time yet still allowing for full customization.
Robert Chew is the Regional Sales Manager for Earth-Friendly Homes
and will work closely with you through the design and construction
phase. His experience as an award winning Regional Sales Manager
for Acorn Homes and as president of SolarWrights®
will ensure that the design is the right design for your site to
take advantage of solar energy.
We
strive to make our Earth Friendly Homes as healthy as possible for
the occupants. For example, we don't use dangerous fiberglass insulation.
Since our walls are already insulated with the ICF's, we only have
to insulate the ceilings. For this we use either cellulose or recycled
cotton insulation.
We
use radiant heating for comfort and health and avoid unsightly baseboard
radiators. We can easily add solar collectors to not only provide
solar domestic hot water but to provide a heat source for the radiant
floor.
