Environment, safety, comfort, economy and performance; seeking the highest standards for 21st century residential construction, Reems Creek Village takes the lead as the first North Carolina master planned community committed to earning independent certifications by both D.O.E. Energy Star and NC HealthyBuilt programs. Energy Star certification not only provides financial rewards for the residents in both savings and discounts but signifies standards of excellence that can only be achieved through a concerted effort. Independent energy raters perform tests during construction that assure air tight construction and minimal leaks in the ducting systems. NC HealthyBuilt certification rewards green building practices that are not only energy wise but also resource efficient. eHome is certified by the American Lung Association as a HealthHouse builder, providing solutions that yield superior indoor air quality. In addition, eHome has developed it's own technology certification which adds elements of comfort, convenience and systems integration that create a truly engineered and fully certified 21st century home.
