Custom Green New Home Construction
BPC collaborates with architects and engineers to build custom green homes from the ground up.. We use the most current building science-based best practices, strategies, materials, and technologies on every new home we build, and take great pride in our skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Green Retrofit Home Renovations
We can also transform existing homes in many cases. The first step involves our evaluation of the potential for your home to be renovated to offer significantly improved performance benefits. If we and you agree that your home is a good candidate, we can manage the process from start to finish, just like we do with the new homes we build.
Homes That Meet a Variety of Green Building Standards
Every BPC home built today meets or exceeds three or more established certified green home industry standards. In fact, we are a leader in Connecticut and New York in building and renovating homes to the demanding standards of PHIUS Passive House certification and LEED for Homes certification levels, up to and including LEED Platinum certified homes.
There are many green home certifications and standards—BPC Green Builders can help you determine the type of green home that’s right for you.
BPC Green Homes are Sustainable Homes
For new custom homes and home renovations alike, sustainability is very important.
BPC Green Homes are some of the most sustainable homes available. Even in our Connecticut climate, we use sustainable building products and techniques to create homes that use no more energy over the course of a year than they generate on site with solar photovoltaic systems.
What Is a “Certified Green Home”?
Not all home builders and contractors who claim to be green builders actually are. To qualify as a “certified green home,” a home must be designed and built to meet or exceed one of several green building industry or government-established green home building certification standards.
These certification processes require strict testing, verification, and submission of results and reports to the certifying organization. When your home is certified green, it provides third-party peace of mind and confirmation that your home was built or renovated the right way.
