Designed with a commitment to environmental stewardship, Harvest Village proudly showcases LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) platinum level equivalent, setting a new standard for eco-conscious living in the heart of the wine country.
Have you ever noticed drafts in your home? We construct the envelope of your home to be so efficient that it retains warm air in the winter and cool air in the summer, keeping it inside where it belongs. This reduces the electricity demand for your HVAC system providing maximum energy savings.
Every home is meticulously designed to accommodate solar panels. The commitment to preserving natural resources is evident as we eliminate the reliance on natural gas by harnessing solar electricity. This transformation will elevate the neighborhood into a net zero energy community.
A heat/energy recovery ventilator ensures a continuous flow of tempered, filtered, fresh air. By employing this innovative "fresh air" heating and cooling system, not only do you save on space-conditioning expenses by effectively "recycling" indoor energy, but you also enjoy superior indoor air quality and consistent comfort. Depending on the model, heat recovery ventilation systems can capture up to 85% of the heat from the outgoing airstream, making them far more economical than simply opening windows.
Each interior is free of formaldehyde or other harmful chemical-producing materials. Healthy indoor air quality is important to our mission. Each home is designed with surfaces that are elegant and easily cleaned. The homes have windows that open to let in fresh air and HVAC filtration systems that help clean the air in your home.
Appliances will be ENERGY STAR certified and all plumbing fixtures will be water conserving. The very efficient HVAC system, heat pump water heaters, and LED lighting all reduce the energy demand and lower monthly energy bills.
Harvest Village offers more than just housing; it embodies a vibrant neighborhood where residents can thrive in a healthy community. With built-in opportunities for resource conservation and environmental protection, it fosters a sustainable lifestyle that benefits both residents and the planet.
