Environmental mission and strategy (ESG)
Green Building is a design and construction process that saves energy and natural resources while protecting the environment. A green home uses less energy, water and natural resources, creates less waste and promotes the health and well-being of the home owners and their families. Cedar Knolls homes utilize many green building techniques and features. Our new homes are Energy Star and LEED complaint. Cedar Knolls is ready to help you from the design phase, all the way through to the completion of your new green, energy efficient Long Island area home!
Modular homes use 20% more lumber than field-built homes for stronger construction & better quality but generate less waste than traditional field-building techniques.
Factory construction allows for tighter quality controls and multiple inspections by an independent engineering firm.
Our homes are typically more than 15% more energy efficient and are LEED compliant & compliant.
Green Building Council Rating System
LEED for Homes is a rating system that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes. Cedar Knolls can provide buyers with the LEED for Homes compliant home of their dreams. The commitment to quality and attention we give to every new green home we build is second to none!
