“Greensmart” is exclusive to Horwath homes.It means that you are getting a highly efficient home, constructed with products and mechanical features that will last longer and run more efficiently than just about any other new home builder’s standard specifications. Horwath Greensmart homes use only a fraction of the new wood material that most existing homes have in them, and the building components we use are engineered and premium-grade to perform better and last longer than the cheapest base grade found in other new homes. For example, Horwath Greensmart means your home will have a 15 year warranteed Tuff-N-Dry foundation waterproof and insulation system from top to bottom meaning less heat loss and a more energy-efficient, warm and dry basement. Each of our homes are Energy-Star qualified to meet far-tougher heat loss & energy-efficiency standards while providing a healthier air-quality in your Horwath Greensmart home as well – and they’re tested by State-certified engineer with advanced blower-door and heat sensing equipment to ensure a superiorly insulated and sealed home.
We specify low VOC paints, carpeting and numerous other “healthy” building materials. Finally, we can advise you regarding other possible options like Geo-Thermal Heating, foam insulation, etc. Horwath “Greensmart” is a better way to build – it’s healthier, better insulated, needs less maintenance, uses fewer natural resources, and costs you less to operate – now that’s smart.
