Building Green


Riverdell takes the time to ensure each and every space within our custom homes is warm and inviting. Aesthetics are what our customers see from the onset, but efficiency is what they enjoy daily. Our homes are designed for maximum efficiency with green initiatives inherent at every turn. Sustainable building practices provide value, health and comfort that enable a better future. Our homes use less energy through a combination of proven energy-efficient equipment and building practices.

Our building projects are certified ENERGY STAR.  This certification assures our clients that we have met rigorous energy efficiency standards set by ENERGY STAR and have adhered to the necessary guidelines for healthier indoor air, energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and resource efficiency.

By “building green” we incorporate sustainable practices and resources in every home wherever possible. This includes reclaimed siding, sustainable forest products, engineered wood products, sustainable flooring, recycled construction debris, smart use of building materials, protecting the environment around the job site, and advising owners of the choices they have. Eco friendly house designs are our specialty.
