Green Living in Franklin, TN - Creekstone

Recently I went to an open house for a new community here in Franklin, TN. It is called Creekstone. (www.creekstonefranklin.com) It is all about GREEN. They are committed to meeting a builder’s challenge set forth from the US Department of Energy. The Builders Challenge program recognizes builders committed to building homes that are at least 30% more energy efficient than a typical new home. They use the “E-Scale” to measure a home’s efficency. This house, the new model, has energy costs that rate it 45% more efficient than the typical new home. My home is built was built in 2006. For about 3000 sq. ft, which is comparable to the model, we are paying about $250/month for gas and electric. Pretty good price, I think. This new model will have gas and electric bills at about $110/month! Amazing. That is over $1200/year difference. The price of the house is comparable to other specialty neighborhoods in the area. The builder has included the beautiful upgrades you would expect to see in a house for that price. The extra cost to make it an efficient house seems to be seamlessly put into a beautiful house. It is a great floorplan with a front porch and back deck. If you want a lovely, and efficient house, call me to take you over to Creekstone in Franklin, TN. And did I mention that the location is wonderfully convenient?
