A Home Any Planet Would Love
Before building, every home plan must earn Earthcraft certification – a stringent standard
covering everything from energy efficiency and indoor air quality to reliance on toxinfree
products and the efficient use of materials from renewable sources.
About Earthcraft Certification
Every home receiving an Earthcraft certification must be inspected at least twice: Once
before the sheetrock is installed, and again before closing. The overall categories that
must be compliant are:
- Site planning & home design
- The home's "envelope" and energy systems
- Lighting and appliances
- Building materials
- Water use & waste management
- Indoor air quality
- The builder's operations & recycling methods
- Homebuyer education
The checklist of items that these categories encompass appears exhaustive at first glance.
The good news, however, is that the elite group of homebuilders selected to build within
Oak Terrace Preserve are at the top of the profession, and welcome this level detail... it
ensures that builder and buyer are both on the same sheet of music, and both expect a
final product that will be the very best in the region.
