Advantages of a DSC LEED Certified Home
By building a LEED certified home, not only do you have Desert Star Construction's word that you have the highest quality home on the market, you also have the word of third party verifiers backed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Here is what you can count on in a LEED certified home built by Desert Star Construction:
- Premier Quality
Your home will go through the quality management system of both Desert Star Construction AND the third party verifiers backed by USGBC. The high durability of the LEED certified home ensures that ongoing maintenance costs of the home will be kept to a minimum. - Saving Money
Less energy, water, and other natural resources will be used in the operation of the home, resulting in annual utility savings worth hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the specified design objective. Federal, State, and Utility based incentives are often available for using renewable energy technology in the home. - Healthier Home
Increased indoor environmental quality that includes reduced exposure to mold, mildew, and other indoor toxins that can have a negative impact on occupant health. - Maximum Comfort
Systems used in a LEED certified home ensure that the homeowner's comfort is maximized through indoor environmental quality. - Environmental Responsibility
Lower energy use of the LEED certified home will have reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a lower carbon footprint. Also, construction waste reduction and recycling diversion helps to minimize resource consumption and ease the load on local landfills, helping to improve the environment. - Peace of Mind
A certificate from a nationally recognized organization certifying that you have a green home. - Recognition
Quick public recognition of the LEED green rating system provides an additional advantage if you ever decide to sell your home.
