All ABS homes are built Green from the ground up. We feel it is our duty to be kind to our environment- that’s why Affinity Building Systems will help you be a friend to the overall global environment, and save you a considerable amount of money while doing so.
Some of our Green building processes and standard Green components that are included in every ABS home are:
- EnergyStar® Rated: windows, water heater, refrigerator, dishwasher, and all interior lights
- BluWood® floor decking and joist- this is specially-treated wood to resist moisture, mold and wood-ingesting insects, including Formosan termite
- Fiberglass insulation- the ABS standards far exceed EnergyStar® requirements
- Insulated duct systems
- Low flow toilets and shower heads
- Insulated fiberglass exterior doors
- Air infiltration wrap on the entire home
- OSB sheathing and decking
- All low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints
- Recycling program for: wood scrap, sawdust, wire, vinyl, and cardboard
- Building in a controlled environment, with an optimized construction process and machinery, allows for much less material loss and waste
- Each custom home is built in a climate-controlled facility, eliminating the chances of air quality issues caused by high levels of trapped moisture during the construction process
- ABS Homes are constructed in an environment that minimizes the typical carbon footprint associated with building a new home
