Advantages of Green Building
If you are like many home buyers today, energy efficiency is an important concern when you're looking for a new home plan. By choosing a home designed with energy efficiency in mind, you can help ensure that you will be more comfortable, have lower utility bills, and protect the environment.
Energy and natural resources are conserved
By choosing a local Energy Star® "green" builder like NorthPointe Construction, installing energy efficient appliances and lighting, purchasing recycled materials, and supporting local businesses, our impact on the planet will be minimized.
Natural lighting is used to its highest potential
The use of natural lighting is not only good for your wellbeing, using more natural light instead of artificial lighting means you save on energy costs.
Material and resource waste is eliminated or reduced
NorthPointe's component construction methods are especially Earth-friendly because they reduce material and resources waste - reducing costs and helping the environment. Additionally, NorthPointe recycles as much waste as possible to reduce the strain on landfill and to reduce the CO2 emissions associated with the new manufacturing of products.

Low maintenance home with a healthy, long life
Because of the state-of-the-art technology and exacting methods used in component construction, homes by NorthPointe Construction are especially tight and sturdy, decreasing your need for future maintenance and upkeep. By using materials that require little or no maintenance, less time and money is spent on preserving the life of the materials and more time can be spent sitting back and enjoying them.
Cost-efficient
Green building reduces the energy costs of your home from heating and cooling, keeping your home more comfortable year round at a lower cost.
Greater comfort
Properly installed energy-efficient features deliver better protection against cold, heat, drafts, moisture, pollution, and noise. An energy-efficient home helps ensure consistent temperatures between and across rooms, improved indoor air quality, and greater durability.

Value holding ability
A home that saves you on general day-to-day energy costs is much more valuable than a home that uses high volumes of water and large amounts of electricity. This type of home is growing in demand and will be essential for the future.
