Luckily, Caleb is a Legacy LEEDAP (Advanced Professional) and a champion of sustain- able building.“We source green where we can,”he affirms.“We select environmentally friendly prod- ucts that are sustainable and have low or no VOCs (volatile organic compounds).Most of our homes qualify for the Olympic Peninsula Green Building Program.All of our hot water heaters are hybrid; all of our furnaces are variable speed,which give quite a bit of cost savings as well as regulate the tem- perature of the home more consistently. If people want to pay for solar panels,we encourage that.” “And we want our homes to not just be durable, but healthy,”he continues,“so the families living in the home can be healthy.We build through the rainy months and use products that resist swelling, and use fans, heaters, and dehumidifiers to dry out our homes.Moisture intrusion which leads to mold is the primary cause of poor indoor air quality in our area.
