Green Built, Energy Rated

So what does it mean, when we say our house is a green build and has been energy rated?

    

A little background . . . We (Power House Investors) built two townhouse/condos in South Austin, Texas that were rated 4-STAR by Austin Energy Green Building. The ratings are from 1 -5 Stars,  so getting 4 stars was quite the accomplishment for our first development.

  "Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) created the country’s first green home rating system in 1991. We have led the field of sustainable building ever since. Our Single-Family Program promotes the design, construction, purchase, and operation of green homes. We do this through extensive marketing and education to both building professionals and the public. The heart of this effort is our Single-Family Rating System. We designed it to reflect Central Texas’ hot-humid climate, resources, and building conditions." - Website

We wanted to take they same green build features and apply them to the Houston market.  Based on our Architects recommendation and that they are fellow members of the Greater Houston Builders Association, we hired Snyder Energy Services to complete our energy rating. 

What that means to you,  the potential buyer is . . .

We took the extra mile, to hire & pay an additional (not mandatory) third party to inspect the house throughout the building process  based on the Energy Green Rating Specifications we mandated in the development stages. If the house did not comply, we were not able to move forward just like the City of Houston would do for their inspections. Not all builders/developers take the time and effort to make building green a priority. We want you to know that we did and do you know who it really benefits? ... you, the buyer!

803 Fairbanks Panoramic Views

When we talk about an open floor plan this what we mean. Pretty much definition of having clear site views from the Kitchen to the living room, AND a view of the backyard from each room. 

For those of you not as familiar with looking at construction sites, I will tell you what you are exactly looking at here in this panoramic photo.

TO THE LEFT...  is the chef's kitchen with a 36" gas range and large center island. Great for entertaining inside and outside. The kitchen has sliding doors that open onto the covered porch.

 

THE MIDDLE...  is the dining room. As you enter the house, you have a grand view of the dining room and its sliding doors out to your backyard entertainment space.

To define the dining room and give it some drama, we added a Tray Ceiling, inverted recessed ceiling

TO THE RIGHT... is the family room with gas fireplace. It also, has sliding doors that lead out to the backyard.  The living room has a secret storage space for later use!

803 Fairbanks | The Basics

I never like to see the same house replicated over and over again especially when these homes are side by side. Therefore, Power House Investors has taken extra care to make sure that each home we design and build are treated like a "custom-styled" home. Trust me in that,  the easier route is to reuse the ideal plan and make minor adjustments, i.e. flip garage to opposite side or change the exterior colors/material.  BUT we think every home should have it's own distinctive style and make it our mission to design each house with this mind set.

803 Fairbanks was the second home we tackled with our Architects, Brickmoon Design. Since Sunset Heights and Brooke Smith neighborhoods are Lindale Park's neighbor to the west, we designed 803 Fairbanks using inspiration from the Heights craftsman style. While still incorporating the same elements used in 801 Fairbanks like the low-pitch roof and mixed exterior siding we create a design story that connects the homes together.
