Partnership with Haven Homes
I'm proud to announce that to start 2009 we have partnered with Haven Custom Homes. For over 37 years, Haven Custom Homes has built high-quality homes across across a wide range of product lines, and price points.  Their system-built process can be adapted to any architectural plan and represents truly custom operation.
Haven Custom Homes is transforming our industry by applying modular construction techniques and exceptional craftsmanship to award-winning architectural designs, allowing consumers to build exceptional homes in one-third the time of conventional custom construction methods. What we loved about the partnership is their success comes from creating a business partnership with some of the best residential architects in the industry. So not only is Red Tree able to build a high-quality custom green home with Haven but also offer our clients the benefit of our joint partnership with leading architects such as
Allison Ramsey, New Hampshire Design Collaborative, Lew Oliver Inc., GTM Architects, and Russell Versaci Architects.

October 2008 Energy Star Blog
Energy Star:
 System-built homes with the Energy Star certification allow for even more efficiency, as well as savings. American homes use approximately 25
percent of the energy in the United States. Homes built featuring products with the Energy Star label use approximately 35 percent less energy than a typical new home, and prevent 4,500 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year. These homes have effective insulation, high performance windows, upgraded heating and air conditioning systems, tight duct systems and upgraded water heating equipment. Appliances in a new system-built home are most likely Energy Star certified as well. Looking for a green home options? System-built homes have an
eco-friendly advantage over site-built homes from the moment construction begins. Being factory built, it's easier to control the amounts of waste
created and recycled throughout the homebuilding process. Building materials are precut with system-built homes, significantly reducing waste by up to 70 percent.

To top the savings that you get from lower energy bills, you also have rebates that you can qualify for. Energy Star's website explains each category. As always consult your accountant.
