Hive homes adhere to basic sustainable design ideas such as building small and efficiently. We value high-modern, yet efficient living by not over-sizing our spaces. Also, we believe in creating a tight building envelope with high-quality windows and insulation. Hive's architects are experienced with environmentally responsible materials and systems and can work with you to include green ideas and solutions of your choice - from bamboo floors to LEED Accreditation.
All green features and systems are optional, but highly encouraged. Some popular individual green elements are:
- Geothermal
- Solar
- Green Roofs
- Rainwater collection
- Closed-cell spray foam insulation
- ICF foundations
- FSC certified lumber
- No-VOC paints
- Recycled-content tile
Compared to conventional construction, factory-built homes generate far less construction waste and by achieving close tolerances allowed by factory building, Hive homes are tighter and more energy efficient. Additionally, factory built homes are built in clean, dry environments.
Yes - We have LEED accredited designers on staff that can work with you to get your home LEED certified.
