Green or Energy Star Homes
"Energy Star homes" are homes that meet certain spects for energy efficiency. "Green Homes" help protect the environment by using certain products. Below are some of the products I have come in contact with during inspections on Energy Star certified homes built in Callaway Gardens. Please click on the name below to visit their website.

Below are photos of an attic and hallway of a home built in Callaway Gardens using the Icynene Insulation. The exterior temperature that day wasa 97 degrees. The home was vacant and the thermostat was set on 84 degrees. The hallway temperature reading was 84 degrees. And the ATTIC was 87 degrees. A traditional attic would have been between 130 and 160 degrees. And remember, the attic is usually where the AC air handler and duct is located. Talk about energy savings…
