~eco-Bit~ NC Healthy-Built Homes
Here's some interesting INFO...on NC Healthy-Built Homes that will be helpful for you in terms of making informed decisions....Here you will find links to various web sites for architects/builders in the Greater Asheville area who focus on providing a healthy environment for you and your family.
VERDI.. http://www.verdi-se.com/development/development.shtml
"Green Building provides a certain common ground and continuity to all of our Residential Projects. We focus on energy and space efficiency, informed material selection, and the opportunities for natural heating and cooling through careful site planning..."
As Your Buyers' Broker, I am very excited about what this means for YOU...
a "Healthy-Built Home" not only is a great place in which your family can BREATHE
without concerns for toxic mold, mildew and off-gassing, but a property where nontoxic paint, timber not treated with arsenic, an efficient formaldehyde-free insulation are used.
It's a great real estate investment!
Such homes will be in more and more demand in the future(should you choose to sell)..As we move into more awareness of the value of energy and space efficiency, informed material selection, and the opportunities for natural heating and cooling through careful site planning...
future Buyers will be taking such pluses into consideration.
Let's say you want to rehab/invest in an older home...
Here are some of VERDI'S rehab projects:

I have met with the Project Manager for this Verdi Project
In my opinion, he is knowledgeable, responsive and REAL..
a big plus for you and for me as your liaison.
http://www.verdi-se.com/development/de_crayton.shtml
The above project will be a cluster-housing community...the materials going into these
not too expensive homes is TOP quality! I like the attitude here.
I have shown this Verdi home:
http://www.verdi-se.com/development/de_montford.shtml
It is in an historic neighborhood. I can tell from seeing it in person, that the builder
has "what it takes" when it comes to sustainable design
and in context-sensitive land and building design.
Here's VERDI's fast track (really useful) INFO on Green Building:
http://www.verdi-se.com/education/education.shtml
Here's an example of a Healthy-Built Home...almost ready:
GREEN BUILDING AT ITS BEST. BUILT TO LAST AND ENERGY EFFICIENT FROM THE I.C.F. CONSTRUCTION TO THE LIGHT BULBS. JACUZZI TYPE TUB, 9` CEILINGS ON MAIN FLOOR. HARDWOODS AND BERBER. GREAT VIEWS YEAR ROUND.A COUNTRY SETTING ONLY MINUTES TO ASHEVILLE! http://www.wncrmls.com/wnc/maildoc/AAA00005q.html
As your Buyers' Broker, it is my happy task to check with any of the architects/builders here
should you want more information....We would want to ascertain the level of familiarity with the NC Healthy-Built Homes Program....
Here's an very interesting example of a Healthy-Built Home...
with photos of the process involved from start to finish...
