One of the biggest advantages of REBUILDING instead of remodeling is that rebuilding is much less disruptive to your family. When you rebuild, your children can stay in the same schools, and the family can attend the same church and keep the same activities in the community. When itemizing the cost of remodeling, it is often less expensive to rebuild, and the house is new — not something that has been “added-on to”! We can custom design and build the home you have always wanted. We handle every phase from permits and demolition through completion and can also arrange for temporary accommodations and storage of personal property during construction.

CHANGE FOR THE

BETTER WITH ENERGY STAR WHAT IS ENERGY STAR®? ENERGY STAR is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. The mark identifies new homes and more than 50 types of products that are energy efficient and offer the features, quality, and performance that today’s consumers expect. A home that earns the ENERGY STAR Certification is significantly more efficient than a standard home. By purchasing a Westchester ENERGY STAR qualified home, you can have all the features you desire in your new home, plus lower utility bills—all while helping to prevent greenhouse gas emissions. Together with home buyers and their families, we are working to achieve a common goal— protecting the environment for future generations by changing to more energy-efficient practices today.

It’s our future. Together, we can make a change for the better. In 2005, with the help of ENERGY STAR, Americans saved about $12 billion on their utility bills and reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 23 million vehicles.

ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED WESTCHESTER MODULAR HOMES The ENERGY STAR label is your assurance that the home you’re buying includes energy-efficient features such as effective insulation, tight construction, high-efficiency windows, and efficient heating and cooling equipment. Plus, all ENERGY STAR qualified Westchester Homes are inspected by an independent third party to meet the EPA’s strict guidelines for energy efficiency.

GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT The energy used in your home is most often from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which contributes to smog, acid rain, and the risks of global warming. Simply put, the less energy we use in our homes, the less air pollution we generate. This creates a better environment for everyone, now and for generations to come.

Properly installed energy-efficient improvements, such as increased insulation, tightly sealed ducts, and ENERGY STAR qualified windows, provide better protection against heat, cold, drafts, and noise from outside.

On the outside, your ENERGY STAR qualified Westchester home may not look any different from other homes, but you will feel the difference in your comfort and see it in your bank account.

INDEPENDENT TESTING While it's easy for builders to claim that their homes are “energy efficient”, Westchester Homes backs that up with a third-party inspection to verify the house’s energy performance.

Westchester’s factory ENERGY STAR Certification guarantees our homes undergo an additional comprehensive inspection of insulation and air sealing details to ensure that they deliver the full comfort and energy savings they are designed to achieve.

An ENERGY STAR qualified Westchester home uses substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and water heating than a traditionally built home. Homeowners can expect to save hundreds of dollars each year on their utility bills.

Advanced techniques for sealing holes and cracks in the homes “envelope” and in heating and cooling ducts help reduce drafts, moisture, dust, pollen, pests and noise. A tightly sealed home improves comfort and indoor air quality, while lowering utility and maintenance costs.

Building your own home is one of life’s great experiences — a true reflection of your taste and personality. Now, for the first time in history, home-building partners such as Westchester Modular Homes are helping homeowners like you to build “green,” far healthier for your family, your budget, your neighborhood and the planet. 1. Building “green” begins with your approach — conventional stickbuilt or state-of-the-art modular. With modular building, your home is custom-designed using advanced computer-aided-design, then constructed in a precision, climate-controlled factory. On “day one” at your building site, your home is 80% complete, dramatically reducing the impact on the environment at your site. Conventional stick-built homes, by comparison, will interrupt the ecosystem for an average of 180 days. 2. Because your home is built in a closed indoor environment, lumber and other materials never get wet eliminating mold and mildew problems. This creates a healthy living condition and clean non-toxic air in your home for your family to breathe. 3. Similarly, building materials are not wasted on site due to faulty workmanship or the inability to accurately measure the exact needs of a project. At Westchester Modular, we purchase materials according to the lengths required for construction. In addition, the use of finger jointed lumber not only conserves natural resources, it also creates straighter and stronger walls. 4. Recycling is a also a major part of Westchester Modular Homes Green Initiative. Drywall scraps are shipped to mills where it is recycled into lime for farming. Cardboard, electrical wire, plywood and other materials are sorted and recycled. 5. Energy Efficiency is another component of Westchester Modular’s Building Green Program. R-19 wall insulation and R-38 ceiling insulation are the start of a highly energy efficient home. Other standard features such as, Andersen 400 Series Low E glass windows filled with argon gas, greatly reduce your energy consumption. In turn, the amount of carbons released into our environment is greatly reduced. 6. Westchester Modular Homes is an Energy Star® Partner, and can provide you with an optional Energy Star Certified home. This means your home will be inspected to ensure that it meets or

exceeds the Energy Star Standards for energy efficiency. Some examples are: Insulation is inspected, potential areas for air infiltration are caulked and sealed, and plumbing pipes are protected from the elements. 7. Westchester Modular Homes extends Green Building right into the structure of our own manufacturing facility. Recently, all our light fixtures were changed to highly energy efficient fluorescent lights. By making this change, we reduced our Energy Consumption and the amounts of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides that are released into the air. By removing these pollutants, Westchester’s initiative has the same effect as planting 27 trees, removing 18 cars from the road and saving 11,255 gallons of gas each year. 8. Water, another valuable resource, is also on our Green Agenda. Westchester Modular Homes now offers its customers the option to select water-saving faucets, shower heads and commodes which greatly reduce the amount of water consumption in your home on a daily basis without reducing your quality of life. 9. By nature, modular homes are among the best engineered and sturdiest homes built. As a result, they’re extremely quiet to live in — again, lessening their environmental impact. Tight, precise construction keeps your family, warm and away from harmful toxins in the air. 10.You can elect to build an even “Greener” home if you opt to have your home Certified. Westchester Modular Homes and our Independent Builder will work together to provide you with a Certified home at the level of your choice. So let’s get started on custom designing a Westchester Modular Home for you today with over 60 designs to choose from. We can also take your plans and truly individualize your home. Either way, your new home is backed by our 10-year warranty. And you’ll be living more green…from day one.
