Completed Green Homes and Communities Tout Green Features and
Lifestyle From the Foundation to the Roof and Everything in Between
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Green Builders,
Inc. (OTC:WSHD) (BULLETIN BOARD: WSHD) , the leading large-scale
community developer of green, sustainable homes, is pleased to
announce it has received the ENERGY STAR (R) certification from the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on all of the company's
first completed green built homes. A 15 year old joint program of
the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy, the ENERGY STAR program
helps consumers save money and protect the environment through
energy efficient products and practices. "We're all trying to do
our part to create as little impact on the environment as possible
when building new homes," explains Clark Wilson, CEO and President
of Green Builders, Inc. "Our ENERGY STAR certification is further
demonstration of our commitment. Just one ENERGY STAR qualified new
home can keep 4,500 pounds of greenhouse gases out of our air each
year. With our participation in the EPA's ENERGY STAR program,
we're helping consumers live green and maintain a healthy
lifestyle." All of Green Builders' first 15 completed homes in
Georgetown Village in Georgetown, Texas, a suburb of Austin, Texas,
feature a built-in recycling center, ENERGY STAR GE dishwasher,
tankless water heater, conduits for future solar panels, and low
VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paint and varnishes which are used
throughout the home to reduce off gassing. In addition, these homes
and all future Green Builders homes will offer a monthly energy
savings of more than $100 on average, leveraging state-of-the-art
foam insulation on the roof and walls to reduce heat from the
outdoors, seal the home for cleaner air quality with less pollens,
molds and allergens, and reduce heating and cooling costs by up to
50 percent. The use of compact fluorescent lighting throughout the
homes further allows home owners to enjoy the benefits of energy
savings and reducing environmental impact as soon as they move into
a Green Builders home. All these features are available along with
other green upgrades such as recycled clay tile floors in all wet
areas, bamboo or sustainable wood floors, recycled carpets, and
locally harvested granite or Tresca countertops. Green Builders
homes are designed with Environmental Centers that feature all of
the technical components needed to manage your home in one central
area. This area provides convenient and easy access to equipment
for HVAC, security, cable TV, telephone and water distribution.
Each property also incorporates hydro-zoned landscaping with native
plants and trees and a centralized sprinkler system with rain
sensor, allowing for minimal watering in selected areas rather than
saturating an entire area just to maintain one section of the yard.
"Green Builders is an exceptionally proactive builder who is really
working with the available local resources to create beautiful,
traditional-looking homes with environmentally friendly concepts
and materials," explains Dondi Atwell, Managing Inspector, ATS
Engineering. "Working with builders to test their energy ratings
can be a challenge, but all the Green Builders homes go well beyond
the expectations securing them the highly recognized ENERGY STAR
certification." Green Builders energy efficient homes are priced
from the $200,000s to $700,000s and available throughout the Austin
area. About Green Builders, Inc. Green Builders, Inc., a subsidiary
