| Piedmont Realty & Construction believes that energy conservation starts at home. As a result, we strive to set the benchmark for energy efficiency and sustainability with our earth friendly building program. Green building leadership in every Piedmont earth friendly home can be identified in our exterior materials, recycled building components, efficient insulation, high efficiency and low flow plumbing, sustainable resource cabinets, low emission paint and carpet pads for indoor air quality, and high efficiency, Energy Star Rated heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems. Additionally, Piedmont recycles 100% of its construction waste which allows 90% of the waste from our building sites to re-enter the product-life-cycle as new, reusable raw materials.
When Piedmont’s leadership team learned about the potential hazards of poor indoor air quality caused from common products used in nearly every building project, we immediately rejected the use of these volatile organic compounds in our homes. The result is healthier living through much improved indoor air quality. Piedmont Realty & Construction’s earth friendly building program provides our homebuyers the ability to live healthier lives and enjoy annual savings through a quality built, energy efficient home. |
