For more than 25 years, we at SABA Custom Homes have been focused on doing what is right.  To us, green building isn't just a good marketing tool;  it is what is right for our customers, our planet and our future generations.

As a company we are committed to continually explore ways to make our homes and our construction processes more Earth friendly.  We have made many enhancements to make our homes more energy efficient and sustainable.

Here are a few of those improvements...

begins with ENERGY STAR blue. 
All SABA Custom Homes are designed and built to exceed ENERGY STAR specifications.  Our homes are individually tested to ensure that they meet the EPA's National Building Rating system.  Our energy saving features typically make our homes 15-20% more efficient than standard homes.

There are numerous things we do to ensure that your home is as efficient as possible.

• We use Simonton Argon filled Low-E glass windows with a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.26.
• We seal the entire home with exterior house wrap.
• All exterior walls are insulated with Owens Corning high R-value batt insulation.
• We use attic blown insulation with an R-value of 50.  This far exceeds the required minimum!
• We caulk the sill plate of the home and every hole that is drilled through the inside of the exterior walls.
• We seal the heating and air conditioning duct system.  A tightly sealed home improves comfort and air quality while reducing utility and maintenance.
• We fully insulate the basement walls with batt insulation on the interior covered with finished drywall.

In addition to improving the energy efficiency of your new home, we are also working to reduce the amount of waste generated on our construction sites.  We are working with our suppliers and sub-contractors to achieve our goal of eliminating waste by 25% this year.
