All American Homes Announces Agreement With Solar Village
Middlebury IN (SPX) Apr 07, 2008 All American Homes has announced that it has reached an agreement with Solar Village Homes, of Boulder, Colorado to license, build and sell a line of eco-friendly, solar homes. Under terms of the five-year agreement, Solar Village will design the homes exclusively for All American Homes in its market areas. The homes will feature a super-insulated, passive solar home design, and solar power and heat resulting in energy bills as low as zero. The homes will also feature extensive use of sustainable materials in their interior construction, such as tile or slate floors, bamboo or cork flooring, natural fiber wool carpeting and low-VOC paints and finishes. Incorporating these "earth friendly" technologies will result in homes that are ultra-comfortable, much less costly to operate, easier to maintain and with better indoor air quality. The initial series of ranch and two-story homes will include six floorplans ranging from 1,100 square feet to 2,457 square feet. "These homes were introduced earlier this month to the builders who attended our annual meeting, where they generated a great deal of excitement," commented Rick Bedell, President of All American Homes. "The Solar Village homes are designed to be affordable, finally bringing 'green built' construction advantages to a broader segment of the home buying public. All American Homes will launch the new line of homes across their entire builder network on Earth Day, April 22, 2008. This new initiative marks another step forward in our vision to be the pre-eminent systems-built builder of sustainable homes."
