Earth Friendly

Miller’s Landing is an R2000 energy efficient community. R2000 homes reduce energy consumption by maximizing efficient heating, insulation, water conservation and by using the most environmentally friendly building materials. Moreover, by living in a community you will be sharing your resources with all, as a result, the community will have less of an impact on the land and in return, you will lead a less expensive lifestyle.

Some of the features of an R2000 constructed home:

• a whole-house, continuous ventilation system;
• more environmentally-friendly materials and equipment;
• advanced heating and cooling systems with installed heat pump and optional geothermal
• energy-efficient appliances and lighting;
• Low e argon filled high performance energy-efficient windows and doors
• a "tight" building envelope to reduce drafts and heat loss; and
• high levels of insulation including R50 in the attic and R28 walls also important for sound barrier
• Dual flush toilets and low flow shower heads
