Going green has become a hot topic in many markets ranging from fashion, automotives, and homebuilding. It is about time that a local homebuilder has found a way to go green without compromising luxury and style.
Rosewood Homes has proven enduring beauty and timeless style over the years. Now, the local, luxury homebuilder can add solar chic to its list. Rosewood Homes welcome the Emerald Series. This series is not only beautifully crafted by the best, but is up to 57% more energy efficient than current building code requirements and 70%-80% more efficient than typical resale homes. Every home is equipped with EPA’s Energy Star requirements for energy efficiency. Each Arizona home is loaded with dozens of energy (and resource) saving features that ultimately lower the homeowner’s utility costs. With an Emerald Series home, homeowner’s can save approximately $1,673 to $2,057 per year depending on the home’s PVT size.
Rosewood Homes receives a 3rd party independent HERS (Home Energy Rating Service) score by a RESNet-certified professional and verified by APS. Rosewood Homes is one of the only home builders that require a RESNet-certified inspector to conduct five comprehensive inspections; checking if construction of the home was done correctly in the following: heating, cooling, plumbing, lighting, appliances, and insulation completed as required.
These fabulous, eco-friendly homes consist of an Echo Solar PVT System (Valued at $19,299) with a 120-gallon, super-efficient water heater at no additional cost. This specialized system generates two to three times more energy than your average solar PV system. Most solar energy homes use a solar PV system, which only allows 15% of the sun’s energy to be captured. Rosewood Homes has invested their time and money into an Echo solar system. This system captures 50% of the sun’s energy. Homeowner’s receive sleek Energy Star appliances throughout the home and KCMA “Green Certified” Cabinets create the most up-to-date kitchen.
The perks of purchasing a home equipped with a solar electric systems through 2016, may qualify buyers for a one-time Federal Tax Credit of 30% of qualified system costs and a $1,000 Arizona state tax credit totaling up to $6,700. Rosewood Homes are striving to reduce pollution and greenhouse gases by implementing the Emerald Series creating more comfortable and healthier living standards.
