Trent Collins Completes Green Advantage Certification

Greenwood, DE - December 16 2008 - Trent Collins, of Henlopen Homes one of Beracah Homes preferred builders, recently completed Green Advantage certification at a 2 day workshop held at the Beracah plant in Greenwood.

David Johnston, author of Green from the Ground Up, conducted the workshop, and represented the 3rd party certification agency Green Advantage®. Green Advantage® is the result of collaboration between the Nature Conservancy, Science Applications International Corporation, the University of Florida, and is an environmental certification for building-related practitioners (primarily contractors), subcontractors and trades people. As the green building sector is growing at a rapid pace, certification by Green Advantage® demonstrates a strong commitment by Beracah and Henlopen Homes towards more energy efficient & sustainably built homes.

Energy efficiency, conservation of natural resources and indoor air quality are the three fundamental principles that revolve around green building. Green building encompasses every part of construction, not just the house itself but everything around it. This "oneness" creates a relationship with a house and its occupants to the world around them. Put simply, green building is a process of design and construction that fosters the conservation of energy and other natural resources and promotes a healthy environment. Recently Beracah Homes completed their first of many Energy Star Certified homes. With Energy Star plant certification occurring within the next few months, green building is a direction Beracah is heading full-on. "Henlopen Homes is excited to be partnered with a ‘forward thinking' company like Beracah Homes. Providing more energy efficient homes, Energy Star ratings and employing GREEN building practices are all things we at Henlopen Homes are proud to be doing." said Trent Collins.

Johnston was quick to note that modular construction (as performed by Beracah) is and will be the frontrunner in green building technology, citing construction in a controlled environment provides many benefits that on-site built homes simply cannot overcome. In the plant environment, a home is constructed as a system, moving between stations until its completion. Plant construction is a natural flow to the building of a green home, as a green home functions best as a system of interrelated parts. With an increased focus on the efficiency of each segment, the standard end result home as built by Beracah is stronger, more energy efficient, and with proper maintenance, holds a greater home value.

Aside from the plant build construction of a home, Green Advantage training helped us at Henlopen Homes evaluate on site design, foundation work, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, lighting, air conditioning, siding, insulation, windows/doors, solar energy, indoor air quality, and more so that we can make those processes green as well. Some things, like window placement in your home design and the direction your home is placed on your lot can be of importance to greener living. Henlopen Homes can help you with these crucial beginnings long before your home starts in the plant.

Official certification from Green Advantage® demonstrates knowledge from its members about building structures that are: 1) energy and water efficient for reduced monthly bills, 2) insect and disaster resistant for a long life, 3) healthier for the well-being of its occupants, and 4) environmentally friendly for the health of the planet.

Contact us today to discuss different green and energy efficient options that would work for you. We are ready to help build you the home of your dreams!
