For a Better Tomorrow

Our Green Building Commitment

As a leader in sustainable building, Golden Rule Builders goes beyond standard practices to ensure your home is not only environmentally friendly but also significantly reduces your energy costs and carbon footprint.

Key Focus Areas

Zero Energy Ready Homes

Golden Rule Builders is a proud Zero Energy Ready Homes Partner, with our new homes certified by the EERE’s Zero Energy Ready Program. We’ve been recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy for building “some of the best homes in the nation.” Our commitment to sustainable construction follows strict guidelines set forth by Green Building programs including NAHB Green and LEED for Homes, focusing on site design, resource efficiency, water efficiency, indoor air quality, accessibility, and homeowner education.

Standard Green Features

Our standard construction practices incorporate numerous eco-friendly elements that create more sustainable, efficient homes. These include our signature cellulose cocoon insulation package, vapor barrier house wrap, two-by-six inch framing of exterior walls, increased R-value of the building envelope, sun tunnel skylights for natural lighting, low-E insulated windows, and range exhaust vented to the outside—all working together to create homes that are as environmentally responsible as they are comfortable.

Custom Eco Options

Transform your vision into an eco-conscious reality with our array of green customization options. Choose from tankless water heaters, water-saving fixtures, high-efficiency Energy Star-rated appliances, high-performance HVAC systems, geothermal energy, and solar power integration. Our selection of low-VOC interior paints, environmentally friendly flooring materials, and energy-efficient LED lighting allows you to personalize your sustainable home without compromising on style or comfort.
