Materials
Every home is designed and built to specifications that conserve resources. The average new home constructed in the United States generates approximately 4 tons (8000 pounds) of waste. Look at an Adair site and you'll see approximately ¼ of that. This saves you money and conserves valuable resources.
Adair Homes uses engineered wood products whenever practical that utilize renewable wood sources, NOT OLD GROWTH TIMBER.
Livability
One of the aspects of our Mission is building you a home that you can afford. Money is a finite resource and needs to be conserved for better living.
Adair Homes uses dry materials in framing to reduce any possible issues associated with moisture.
Adair uses construction management practices (strict moisture management and recording) to ensure that the structure is dry before covering.
Energy
We install only "low E Glass" windows, reducing U factor light and decreasing heat loss.
Adair utilizes insulated fiberglass doors for energy efficiency and decreased heat loss.
Adair uses CFL light bulbs in many of the fixtures in the home which use up to 75% less electricity and last many times longer than a conventional light bulb.
Adair uses a climate conditioning system that reduces energy bills and increases the overall ventilation.
Air Pollution
With a process of construction designed for limited trips to a site, we not only keep your costs down, but also decrease the emissions from multiple vehicles and multiple trips.
There are many other ways that Adair strives to decrease the demands on our planet and your community. To find out more visit an Adair office today.
