It Is Easy Being Green with Campbell Homes

Built Green Colorado:
Built Green™ is an industry program that promotes an environmentally friendly approach to construction by setting standards for better energy efficiency, healthier indoor air quality and minimum use of resources to lower the overall environmental impact and increase the comfort within your home. Campbell Homes has set minimum construction specifications that actually exceed Built Green™ requirements. Here’s what you can expect in your new Campbell Home.

• Energy Efficiency and Environmental Sensitivity
  
• Moisture Control – Campbell’s exterior house wrap, 3/8” OSB sheathing, drainage plane and 5’ downspout extensions minimize the effects of moisture damage.
  
• Air Infiltration – a foam sealant around windows, doors, top and bottom plates and all wall penetrations such as electrical outlets helps maintain the thermal insulation R-values and keeps pollutants out.
  
• Low maintenance vinyl windows with Low-E glass not only save energy but protect the interior from UV damage.
  
• External sealed combustion gas-log fireplaces prevent heat loss typically associated with flue and damper systems; and keeps contaminants from entering indoor living spaces.
  
• Sealed combustion 92 percent efficient direct vent gas furnace uses 100 percent of outdoor air for combustion. This increases the life of the furnace, promotes cleaner air and minimizes heat loss associated by re-circulation.
  
• Energy Star programmable thermostat with dual setback can be programmed to save 10 to 12 percent in energy usage and costs.
  
• Low flush toilets and water saving faucets and showerheads
  
• Because of the variety of soils conditions in the area, every Campbell Home foundation is engineered for specific site conditions.
  
• Low VOC content (Volatile Organic Compound) in interior paint results in better indoor air quality and an easy-to-clean surface.
