Completed Green Homes and Communities Tout Green Features and Lifestyle From the Foundation to the Roof and Everything in Between AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Green Builders, Inc. (OTC:WSHD) (BULLETIN BOARD: WSHD) , the leading large-scale community developer of green, sustainable homes, is pleased to announce it has received the ENERGY STAR (R) certification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on all of the company's first completed green built homes. A 15 year old joint program of the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy, the ENERGY STAR program helps consumers save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. "We're all trying to do our part to create as little impact on the environment as possible when building new homes," explains Clark Wilson, CEO and President of Green Builders, Inc. "Our ENERGY STAR certification is further demonstration of our commitment. Just one ENERGY STAR qualified new home can keep 4,500 pounds of greenhouse gases out of our air each year. With our participation in the EPA's ENERGY STAR program, we're helping consumers live green and maintain a healthy lifestyle." All of Green Builders' first 15 completed homes in Georgetown Village in Georgetown, Texas, a suburb of Austin, Texas, feature a built-in recycling center, ENERGY STAR GE dishwasher, tankless water heater, conduits for future solar panels, and low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paint and varnishes which are used throughout the home to reduce off gassing. In addition, these homes and all future Green Builders homes will offer a monthly energy savings of more than $100 on average, leveraging state-of-the-art foam insulation on the roof and walls to reduce heat from the outdoors, seal the home for cleaner air quality with less pollens, molds and allergens, and reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50 percent. The use of compact fluorescent lighting throughout the homes further allows home owners to enjoy the benefits of energy savings and reducing environmental impact as soon as they move into a Green Builders home. All these features are available along with other green upgrades such as recycled clay tile floors in all wet areas, bamboo or sustainable wood floors, recycled carpets, and locally harvested granite or Tresca countertops. Green Builders homes are designed with Environmental Centers that feature all of the technical components needed to manage your home in one central area. This area provides convenient and easy access to equipment for HVAC, security, cable TV, telephone and water distribution. Each property also incorporates hydro-zoned landscaping with native plants and trees and a centralized sprinkler system with rain sensor, allowing for minimal watering in selected areas rather than saturating an entire area just to maintain one section of the yard. "Green Builders is an exceptionally proactive builder who is really working with the available local resources to create beautiful, traditional-looking homes with environmentally friendly concepts and materials," explains Dondi Atwell, Managing Inspector, ATS Engineering. "Working with builders to test their energy ratings can be a challenge, but all the Green Builders homes go well beyond the expectations securing them the highly recognized ENERGY STAR certification." Green Builders energy efficient homes are priced from the $200,000s to $700,000s and available throughout the Austin area. About Green Builders, Inc.
