What's worse: Your SUV or your house?
Take your thoughts off that gas-guzzling SUV for a moment and consider
this: The average U.S. home causes twice as much greenhouse emissions as a
single car. So it shouldn't be a surprise that green home building is
poised to be the next great sales pitch in America's environmental
renaissance.
By 2010, half of new homes built are expected to be classified as “green” as more builders try to appeal to consumers worried about global warming, the environment and rising energy costs.
Contact EPD at 330-668-1500 to start working on your own Green Dream Home!

Building a SIP Home? If so, you may qualify for an
Energy Efficient Mortgage!!
Energy Efficient Mortgages are federally recognized and available through most lenders, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Gedenal Housing Administration offers EEMs, as well as the Department of Veteran's Affairs, and recently the USDA's Rural Development Program.

SIP Homes Qualify for Tax Credits!!!!!!!!!!
Homebuilders are eligible for a $2,000 tax credit for a new energy efficient home that achieves fifty percent energy savings for heat and cooling over the 2003 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) plus 2004 supplements. At least one fifth of the energy savings must come from building envelope improvement, achieved through higher levels of insulation and air sealing. A SIP building envelope delivers high R-value insulation while reducing air leakage, making SIPs and ideal option for meeting this requirement.
For more information of tax credits please view the following websites:
