I had a nice surprise when I went out to The Falls at Imperial Oaks the other day.  Come to find out, David Weekley Homes is now building ALL of their floorplans to the Diamond Level of Environments for Living!

The are different levels for this program and David Weekley is building to the highest one offered.  This highest level also places a considerable amount of interest on Water Conservation.

Environments for Living is a Green Program designed by GE. The Top Tiers are Certified Green.  It focuses on Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency and Healthier Products used during construction such as Formaldehyde Free Insulation.  All EFL homes exceed Energy Star Requirements.

The Environments for Living program focuses on a Tighter Envelope to make the home more efficient.  With a more efficient HVAC system, higher R-Values and the tighter envelope, they now put a guarantee on what your Electric Bills should be.

Although there are different levels for EFL Homes, here is what David Weekely is offering as part of their package:

• 15 SEER HVAC
• 95% Efficiency and Humidity Control
• VINYL Low E Double Pane Windows
• Radiant Barrier
• R-38 in the attic  (woah!)
• R-15 Walls as opposed to R-13
• Fresh Air Intake
• 3rd Party Verification on all homes
• Draft Elimination
• Among many others

Statistically, EFL homes at the Diamond Level are up to 50% more energy efficient than homes built to code in 2004 according to David Weekley.
