Every effort is made to comply with built green principals:

• Preserving the natural environment and minimizing disturbance of the land

• Reducing erosion and runoff from paved surfaces, protecting vegetation and trees

• Energy efficient heating, cooling and lighting systems and appliances

• Using large, sun-facing south windows to increase natural light and heat

• Designing attractive eaves and overhangs to block excess summer heat providing cool shady summer retreats

• Installing water conservation features in kitchens and baths
