Green Building Practices by Custom One Homes

Choosing Custom One Homes means opting for a Minnesota custom home builder that prioritizes the environment and your health. As a recognized Green Path Builder, we’re committed to ensuring 75% of our homes are tested and certified by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET), providing homeowners with a clear Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index score. This dedication to transparency and quality sets us apart as a leading Twin Cities builder, offering peace of mind and a significant step towards a more sustainable future.

Educating Through Performance: The Home Performance Report (HPR)

Every Custom One Home comes with a Home Performance Report (HPR), detailing the energy efficiency features and anticipated energy savings. This report, grounded in RESNET and HERS standards, offers homeowners an in-depth look at their home’s energy performance, helping them understand the benefits of their green investment. With an average HERS Index score of around 50, our homes stand as a testament to our commitment to energy efficiency.

This is an example of a Home Performance Report (HPR) which offers an in-depth look at a home’s energy efficiency, as measured by the HERS Index. Custom One Homes’ average score of 50 indicates exceptional energy performance, making our homes significantly more efficient than both new and resale homes on the market.
