Residential Electricity and Utilities Partnership

A partnership has been formed with Florida's residential electricity and utilities providers. These agencies offers both a rebate program and energy conservation inspection and certification services.

The residents of MerryPlace will reap multiple benefits from living in a green community. In addition to the “big picture” benefit of sustainability and reduced environmental costs, residents will enjoy lower utility bills, healthier homes and positive publicity.

Florida's Green Home Designation - www.floridagreenbuilding.org

The Florida Green Home Standard gives suggested methods to make a home healthier and more sustainable, both in terms of the materials that initially go into it, and in the continuing cost of energy, water and maintenance associated with all homes.
 

Owning a 'green' home could also green your wallet with utility and maintenance savings, higher appraised value - better for resale and home equity loans, and improved health benefits.

The designation could help you as a builder:
Gain valuable promotion and advertising.
Differentiate your home from the competition
Market quality, 3rd party inspected workmanship.
Gain increased customer referrals.
Add to the marketing value of your homes.
Reduce costly callbacks.
