It’s Easy Being Green: Our Commitment to Energy-Saving Technology
At Colina Homes, we’re dedicated to delivering the perfect home buying experience for you and your family—and it all starts with our commitment to energy-efficient technology. From the roof to the plumbing, all of our homes are built to help you do your part in supporting the planet.
When making our homes sustainable and comfortable, we’re also setting your family up for ultimate success in the years to come through energy- and cash-saving technology. Interested in learning more about what our commitment to the environment entails? Let’s talk about it.
Why green technology matters to us.
It’s no secret that the greenhouse gases power plants generate when they create electricity can be detrimental to climate change and our atmosphere. And here at Colina Homes, we’re well aware of how these pollutants can enter your home, affecting the health and comfort of you and your family.
All of our energy-efficient homes help to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and lessen your environmental impact. When you buy a Colina Home, you can be confident that you’ll be doing your part in eliminating the harmful pollutants in the air we share by contributing to the differences energy-efficient homes are already making in the U.S.
Embrace the benefits of a green home.
Understanding the positive impact an energy-efficient home brings to the planet is great, but it’s also important to understand how they can work in unison to support your daily life and routines.
There’s no need to make sacrifices when it comes to being environmentally conscious in a Colina home. Our energy-saving technologies are proven to elevate your lifestyle in a myriad of ways, including added comfort and savings. With proper insulation designed to keep you more comfortable and balanced from a temperature standpoint, you’ll also be saving money.
Keep out drafts during the winter and keep the heat at bay during the summer—and by relying on energy-efficient appliances and technology, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that you can save anywhere from 5 to 30 percent on your utility bills. This occurs because of more efficient appliances, partnered with improved insulation which prevents any unnecessary energy lost.
Our commitment to a sustainable future.
When you get the keys to your new Colina Home, you’ll also be joining our commitment to building a better future for the planet in more ways than one. Sustainability starts from the ground up with our communities—and we build our homes with the best energy-efficient technologies on the market.
LP TechShield radiant barrier roof decking
Our homes come with a durable aluminum overlay to block radiant heat from entering your home through the attic, resulting in reduced attic temperatures by up to 30º F and lowering monthly air conditioning costs by up to 17%.
Thermally affiant vinyl double pane low-E windows
If you’ve looked at energy-efficient window options, you’ve probably heard of Low E. Essentially, Low E is a razor-thin, colorless, non-toxic coating that’s applied to windows to help block infrared light, UV rays, and improve overall energy efficiency. This helps to maintain your home’s heating and cooling energy as well as protect your furnishings from fading and sun damage.
Energy-efficient LED light bulbs are available in a wide variety of colors and lights—and in comparison to traditional light bulbs or fixtures, can last 3 to 25 times longer, which means you can save 25 to 80 percent less energy and more than $75 a year.
Did you know that most showers are responsible for up to 30 percent of typical household water use? Low-flow shower heads are shown to reduce water consumption by more than 40%, lower CO2 emissions into the environment, and reduce your monthly water bills without the sacrifice of great water pressure.
High Efficiency Lennox 16 SEER HVAC System with R-6 Insulated Ductwork
Our HVAC systems are up to 13% more efficient than your average option—which will save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs over the years. Even more, we install R-6 insulated ductwork to help provide extra ventilation support in your new home.
Our high-efficiency gas furnaces only work when they’re powered, which means you’ll be emitting less greenhouse gas into the environment and spending less money on your energy bills.
Titan Programmable Digital Thermostat
With our digital thermostats, you can control your energy consumption even more with programmable features to control your heating/cooling systems throughout the day.
Feel good about your new (green) home.
We know that buying a home is a commitment itself, but giving back to the environment shouldn’t have to be. We’ve set you up for total success in being environmentally sustainable for the years to come with our move-in ready homes.
Plus, these technologies come perfectly paired with our warranty program, for ultimate peace of mind if anything were to go wrong. Our warranty program covers all pre-installed energy-saving technologies as well as recessed can lighting, specialized ventilation, and more.
