Building green single-family homes. With a singular focus on quality.
TMG Homes works closely with families, couples and individuals who want to create a healthier living environment, save money and protect the environment. Our services encompass the full range of activities required to build an ENERGY STAR-rated or LEED-certified home. However, because green homes require more planning and are more technically involved than a traditional home, we get the best results when our team gets involved early in the process, even before construction begins.
TMG Homes can help you:
- Select a site to minimize environmental impact.
- Design the site to enhance its natural features and environmental quality.
- Orient the house so that it takes the best possible advantage of passive-solar heating potential.
- Create an efficient floor plan that maintains a home’s functionality.
- Select design features that minimize degradation and weathering of materials and enhance life expectancy.
- Specify energy-efficient features and appliances that contribute to improved home quality and homeowner comfort, and to lower energy demand and reduced air pollution.
- Coordinate with an architect to ensure features and details are correctly specified on architectural plans.
- Provide onsite supervision and coordination during construction.
- Incorporate the use of construction materials/products that have less of an environmental impact. This includes using products made from recycled and/or local materials.
- Recycle construction waste, including wood, cardboard, metals, drywall, plastics, asphalt roofing shingles, concrete and block.
- Work with independent, third-party raters to verify the energy efficiency measures, as well as insulation, air tightness and duct sealing detail.
