Building Responsibly = Building Green
Before Green was "Green"
Brabec Homes has been making strides in building Green long before the popularity of Green. Yet we continue to be responsible in not only environmental resource management but building a home that is healthy for our clients to live in. Here are some of the ways Brabec Homes is working to build you a healthier and more efficient home.
Environmental Responsibility
Recycle job site debris preserve topsoil and trees use native plants in landscaping use less toxic products that reduce environmental pollutants
Resource Responsibility
Installing highly efficient appliances which saves energy and conserves our regions resources installing highly efficient windows Composite engineered wood products are used whenever possible, such as floor joists Installation of fiber cement siding dramatically reduces demand on forest products and it performs better
Air Quality
The indoor air quality of a Brabec Homes is of the utmost concern.
Use of air infiltration systems and electronic air filters Controlled ventilation systems Low toxic building materials Anti-bacterial growth and mold reduction liners in ductwork
All these, and more, are areas where Brabec Homes is building responsibly for you and our environment.
ICF (Concrete Homes)
ICF, or concrete homes, simply put are better built homes. Though they do cost a bit more up front, we believe about 10%, the value and payback over the long run, usually 5-7 years, is quite beneficial.
Beautiful Homes - From the exterior it is hard to even know a home is of concrete. ICFs can be used to build virtually any home plan, using any finish; brick, stucco, siding, and more.
Built to Last - All concrete homes are designed to exceed standard seismic codes and is recognized as a safer form of construction when hurricane, tornadoes, earthquakes or fire threatens.
Energy Efficient - The mass of concrete slows down the transfer of heat and cold making your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer with less energy.
Lower Maintenance - Two of the top causes of exterior maintenance are termites and rotting which concrete homes have a natural defense against.
Environmentally Friendly - Building with concrete helps save our precious forests. The amount of land used to extract the materials to make concrete is only a fraction of that used to cut down our forests for lumber. Scrap tires and other combustible waste that would otherwise take valuable land in landfills are often used as a fuel source in the cement manufacturing process.
Quiet and Comfortable - The greater mass of concrete can reduce sound penetrating through a wall by over 80% when compared to wood-frame construction. Although some sound will penetrate through windows, a concrete home is often two-thirds quieter than a wood-frame home.
Solid Investments - ICF is stronger than stick built homes and safer in hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and fire. Insurance companies usually offer discounts on premiums.
