Low emittance windows keep energy bills lower because your cooling system doesn\u2019t have to work as hard to cool the house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reclaimed Local Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reclaimed materials that are sourced locally are a great sustainable design option, keeping your flooring, walls and structural features as eco-friendly as possible. Reclaimed lumber can be used for wood flooring and accent features within the home, and reclaimed stone can be used for pavers or edging on the exterior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Better Insulation <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A well insulated home will save on energy costs by saving your heating and cooling system from working overtime to make up for leaks. Making sure your new construction home is properly insulated will account for most of your energy saving efforts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy Star Appliances<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Energy Star appliances are certified energy efficient appliances that use less energy to operate and save money on electric bills. Energy Star appliances save the household money, water and energy in your everyday life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smart Home Features<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Smart home features like smart thermostats, smart smoke detectors, smart kitchen appliances and more are becoming much more affordable and can reduce the home\u2019s overall energy expenditure. Families building new homes are investing in smart home features, making the homes more valuable and reducing energy usage year after year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our qualified professional remodeling team can assist you in creating the home remodel of your dreams on the north shore of Nassau county, Long Island.
