    Commitment to Energy Efficiency

    Konter Quality Homes believes that building Green is an ever-evolving process that is centered on efficiency. Konter Quality Homes’ commitment to efficiency is centered on the commitment to the EarthCents program. Konter Quality Homes is a 100% EarthCents builder. With any interest in green building, energy efficiency is the place to start. That's because the energy used in homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which contributes to smog, acid rain, and risks of global warming. So, the less energy used, the less air pollution generated.

      Every Konter Home is individually designed and computer modeled with the following features in mind to not only meet but exceed the EarthCents standard:

      • High Performance Windows
      • High Performance Insulation including Iceynene Spray foam insulation on the roof deck. Keeping the attic area and A/C ducts cool even in the heat of summer.

      • Products made from recycled and renewable resources including recycled laminate flooring, bamboo flooring, and engineered lumber.
