Our Green Commitment

When you buy a Christopher Companies home, you’re not only buying a high quality, hand-crafted, new home, you’re selecting a builder that cares about improving the environment.

At Christopher Companies, we strive to continuously improve our building process to maintain an environmentally-responsible and resource-efficient cycle. Browse our green homes with modern eco friendly home designs for sale now!

From the insulation and windows to the interior features, there are a variety of different design and construction elements that play a part in both improving conditions for our environment, as well as saving you money on your utility bills. We’ll prove it.

VIRGINIA ENERGY SENSE PARTNER

 

The Virginia Energy Sense program provides the tools to educate and empower all Virginians to get involved and lower the amount of electricity they use. Reducing energy use puts money back in consumers’ pockets. It also helps our state’s economy and cleans our air, land and water. That’s why saving energy just makes good sense.

In addition, in 2007, Christopher Companies was awarded the Land Conservation award for our “Kendrick” community in Fairfax County.  As part of our modern eco friendly home designs, we always make sure to plant many more trees than we are required to remove during the construction process!

WHY CHOOSE NGBS GREEN?

A smarter investment. A healthier home. A happier you. That’s what it means to buy an NGBS Green Certified home. Independent inspectors verify that every home meets our rigorous requirements – going well beyond the average construction process. The result? A better place to call home. Here’s why:

LOWER UTILITY BILLS

NGBS Green homes are designed  and built to be 20-30% more energy efficient and use less water than
code-minimum new homes. This percentage is even higher compared to older existing homes. Use less, pay less.

INCREASED RESALE VALUE

When you are ready to sell your NGBS Green home you can expect it to sell faster and for more than a non-certified home of comparable size and location. Source: Washington Post, Is Green Good for Home Resale Value, August 26, 2011.

LESS MAINTENANCE

Imagine a home that is more durable and requires less upkeep. NGBS Green Certified homes are designed and constructed to manage moisture, enhance the durability of materials, and reduce in-service maintenance.

BUILD EQUITY FASTER

Your utility bills don’t build equity, so you might as well invest in a home that saves you money each month. With an NGBS Green home, you’ll improve your ROI and reduce the second largest expense of home ownership: energy bills.

IMPROVED AIR QUALITY

NGBS Green homes are designed and constructed with systems and products that manage combustion gases and maintain proper ventilation. You can breathe easier with cleaner indoor air.

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS

When constructing an NGBS Green home, builders select products that produce fewer indoor pollutants. This improves indoor air quality and provides health benefits.

OPTIMAL MOISTURE LEVELS

Water and moisture are critical factors affecting a home’s durability, comfort and maintenance costs. Too little moisture? You will have dry skin and irritated sinuses. Too much moisture? You may have mold and structural damage. NGBS Green homes are designed to maintain the right moisture balance.

INCREASED COMFORT

Tired of feeling cold in the winter and hot in the summer while inside of your own home? NGBS Green homes are built with building envelopes and sealed air ducts to keep outside air out and conditioned air in. The result? Home sweet home.

SMARTER LOCATION

Your home is more than a shelter from outside elements; it should also be a gateway to the community around you. NGBS Green communities allow you to take full advantage of the neighborhood amenities and services that elevate your quality of life.

SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE

An NGBS Green home is designed to protect, restore and enhance the natural features of its lot and community. While all development has an environmental impact, an NGBS Green home is a better steward of the natural resources within and around the neighborhood.

 

WHY BUY AN ENERGY STAR® CERTIFIED HOME?

Christopher Companies is proud to offer new homes that have earned the ENERGY STAR® label. The ENERGY STAR label means that your new home has been designed and built to standards well above other homes in the market today.  It means better quality, better comfort, and better durability.  It also means that your new home is a better value for today, and a better investment for tomorrow.  The ENERGY STAR label gives you the peace of mind that your home has undergone a better process for inspections, testing, and verification to ensure that it meets strict requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
