Earth Day 2009 reminded us of the increasing demand for high-end, customized residences. Cedar Designs / Linwood Custom Homes is meeting this demand by Delivering Green Homes that Maintain Luxury.
Eco-friendly Cedar Home Packages Designed to promote sustainable living and built with environmentally sound materials and processes, high quality cedar home packages are perfect for discriminating eco-savvy homebuyers. These eco-friendly cedar home packages are developed based on the custom details of each order and shipped worldwide to accommodate the building location of the homeowner.
Renewable Resources and Responsible Practices
More than 75% of a typical Cedar Designs / Linwood Custom Home is made from renewable resources. As a result, cedar home owners enjoy a home with more beauty and character, and one that’s more efficient than traditional homes.
Energy Efficient - Resulting in Cost Savings for Cedar Home Owners
Our timbercrafted homes are sought-after due to our use of premium, B.C.Western Red Cedar. This stable and durable building material is very energy efficient, resulting in cost savings for owners.
To minimize the environmental impact of the building process, our cedar homes are built from carefully premeasured home packages consisting of the precise amount of required materials. Every component that will go into our cedar homes is counted, so any waste is greatly minimized.
Cedar Homes Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
What’s also resonating with today’s eco-smart home buyers is the fact that cedar wood homes reduce greenhouse gas emissions because they use less carbon dioxide in their construction process and operation. We also works to protect this valuable, sustainable resource by only using timber from forests that are immediately replanted.
We understand our clients wanted to design their cedar home according to the landscape, and to conserve as much energy as possible. In the last few years, we’ve had more interest in the inherent, natural attributes of our cedar homes – people want to create their own sustainable environment.
From the Inside Out
On the inside, our cedar homes get high marks for what is referred to in the green building industry as “indoor environmental quality." We use brand-name suppliers who meet the high standards of regulatory bodies and educated consumers. For instance, our main window supplier is a leading ENERGY STAR® certified company and front runner in the area of environmental manufacturing processes. Since a large percentage of each cedar home is framed around magnificent views, windows play an important role in the indoor environmental quality of each home. Not only do they let natural light into the living space, approved windows can contribute to green building certification due to their efficiency and ability to improve air quality.
Many of our cedar homes can also include unseen, but important, features to increase sustainability. Radiant barrier sheathing, improved insulation and duct sealing are just a few components. Other visible environmental features that can be part of a cedar home are low-VOC paints and stains, solar panels, radiant heat flooring, hot-water-on-demand, geothermal systems, and metal roofs.
Custom Cedar Home Building
The benefits of a cedar home residence, however, do not end with its sustainable design, development and functionality. The warmth and aesthetic appeal of premium Western Red Cedar and other wood species, combined with each home’s distinctive design elements, contribute to the growing, global demand for our unique products and services.
Complete Cedar Home Customization
The opportunity for complete customization strongly separates Cedar Designs / Linwood Custom Homes from other home package providers. We work closely with each client to design a home that is specific to the building lot and unique to each homeowner’s needs before the package goes into production. A carefully customized site plan is critical to green home design and building practices. Our site design philosophy is aligned with the key green building guidelines from the Washington, D.C.-based National Association of Home Builders. During the design process, we work with each homeowner to help reduce environmental impact and improve the energy performance of the new home. Design principles such as conserving the natural surroundings, and house orientation to maximize passive solar heating and cooling are processes used when planning the home sites.
