Foothills Homes Building Green 
Do Your Part to Protect the Environment | Go Green
Most people don't realize that their home impacts the environment more than their car. Research shows that more than half of all greenhouse gases and pollutants come from buildings. As a society we have built our economy on energy that will eventually run out.
To counteract this, Foothills Homes recommends builders such as R-Anell, who have been doing their part to help our environment and provide homeowners with better built, higher quality and more energy efficient home. Building "Green" materials means to use valuable resources such as energy, water, materials and land more efficiently compared to traditional building codes. R-Anell's modular building processes already leans toward green construction by creating less construction waste. Lumber is precut and material orders are precise.
- R-Anell Homes are normally sealed much tighter and have less energy loss than traditional site-built methods. As a builder using modular construction, R-Anell Homes can give you a head start on your path towards Green construction.
- To build Green, R-Anell partners with one of our builders and the wishes of the homeowners to reach the desired level of certification. Below are links to the complete guide for the levels of certification of a healthy built, green construction home. Bring this to one of our builders to help make your home healthier and more energy efficient.
- We invite you to come visit our plant and talk with one of the builders, or do some individual research to know and understand what can be done to help conserve energy, live healthier and protect our environment.
