GREEN BUILDING.
WE ARE ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY!
ENERGY STAR homes are independently verified to be at least 30 percent more energy-efficient than homes built to the 1993 national Model Energy Code or 15 percent more efficient than state energy code, whichever is more rigorous. As a result homeowners can realize dramatic savings in heating, cooling, and hot-water energy use. These homes are more efficient because they utilize:
Homes that filter and deliver fresh air more efficiently
create an environment that contains less dust, fewer odors, and remarkably pleasant temperatures. Combined with interior moisture management and advanced combustion safety features this helps reduce potential health risks. Special framing techniques, improved insulation, and efficient ductwork help ensure that your energy usage is manageable.
Homes that are more comfortable, more durable, and more energy efficient
are ultimately more desirable. So when your needs change and the time comes to sell your home you'll find that the Environments for Living program may actually contribute to your home's higher resale value.
We build great homes by never losing sight of what is important: our customers, our employees, our communities and the environment in which we live.
We always remember that homes that we are remodeling or building are surrounded by homes that people are living in!
BYSTRY INC. has initiated its own program for recycling scrap wood, vinyl siding, cardboard and concrete. BYSTRY INC. devotes more time and resources to land planning, habitat restoration and water conservation to restore the harmony between new communities and the environment.
It doesn’t matter what color it is on the outside; every home that BYSTRY Inc. does is green on the inside. By specifying recycled or high-efficiency products where it counts, making better use of materials and reducing waste, a builder can play a big role in reducing pollution and conserving natural resources. The process starts during the planning and design stage and continues right through to how that home functions for its owner.” BYSTRY INC. uses:
■ Energy Star-rated HVAC systems
■ Programmable thermostats
■ Low-flow faucets and showerheads
■ Engineered wood products to reduce the need for long spans of dimensional lumber
■ High performance windows
■ Low-VOC paints
■ Carpet with Carpet and Rug Institute IAQ (indoor air quality)
■ Blown cellulose attic insulation that contains more than 75 percent recycled material
■ Gas fireplaces with non-standing pilot systems that save natural gas
■ All homes wrapped and taped with a moisture/air infiltration barrier as Standard
