BUILDING ECO-FRIENDLY
In conjunction with our company’s mission to produce sustainable and efficient housing, Affirmed has been incorporating green aspects to all of our developments since 2009. These elements include: hot water & photovoltaic systems, low VOC paints, Energy Star Appliances, white roof tops (to offset sunlight), and being pedestrian friendly. All of our developments are within walking distance to amenities such as public transit, garden plots and vegetable or fruit trees.
The green building programs such as “Build it Green” or LEED certification are applied in all developments. Some of our most innovative green features include:
