High Performance Luxury Homes

 

Stellar Performance

As the “Green” marketplace begins to mature, the notion of responsible building is rapidly evolving into a more complex and refined framework. It is not only important to consider the materials and techniques used to build a residential home, but the outcome as well. REA Homes is leading the way as one of the most progressive luxury home builders with a total focus on both responsible building and---high performance.  . 

 

What is a High Performance Luxury Home?

As stated by Jeff Bogard, President of REA Homes, “True luxury starts from the inside out. While some are able to build a home with great finishes including granite, stainless and fancy millwork, we know that true luxury comes from the overall performance of the home.  In other words, what’s behind the drywall is just as important as what’s in front, and creating a healthier more comfortable and energy efficient living environment is the foundation for true luxury”. 

Not only does REA Homes recycle building materials as well as salvage and donate existing building products from existing properties, but REA builds with an eye towards total home performance. Harnessing the latest technologies in ground source heating and cooling (geo-thermal), solar energy and home automation as well as incorporating rainwater harvesting and filtration systems for non potable household functions like lawn irrigation allows REA to create high performance masterpieces. Even simple building practices like sealing every joint and skim coating the shell of the house with foam makes an enormous difference. These technologies and building practices create a living environment that is far superior with vastly improved air quality (especially great for anyone with allergies) and consistently much higher levels of comfort. Homes heat up quicker in the winter and cool down faster in the summer and the temperature consistency from room to room and floor to floor is superb. And of course, incorporating these key components allows the homeowner to enjoy significantly lower utility bills quite often with a much quicker return on investment than one might think. True luxury goes through to the core of the home from the inside out.
