Renaissance Ridge believes energy conservation starts at home. We strive to set the benchmark for energy efficiency and sustainability. In most cases, it doesn’t cost more to build energy-efficient homes.
Earth-friendly exterior materials, recycled building components, insulation, low-flow plumbing, sustainable source cabinets, low-emission paint, carpet pads for indoor air quality, and Energy Star rated heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems will be a part of every home built at Renaissance Ridge.
When the Renaissance Ridge leadership team researched healthier approaches to building homes and communities, we learned how poor indoor air quality is caused by common products being used in nearly every building project. Therefore, we took steps to recruit a homebuilder that rejects the use of volatile organic compounds in their homes. The result will be a much healthier home that promotes livable-sustainability.
All Renaissance Ridge homes will offer special options that include, but are not limited to:
Energy Star rated appliances and air conditioning and ventilation systems
Foam sealed exterior penetration points
Double pane windows with metallic oxide to reduce transfer of heat flow
Industry-best side wall and attic insulation
Solar Panelization
Energy Management Systems - Cellular Based
Smart Home Technology - Cellular Based
Home Security Systems - Cellular Based
Soil Management Systems - Stormwater Control
We also plan to develop ample green spaces and walking trails to increase not only the quality of livability at Renaissance Ridge for all community members, but also a safe space for people to walk and commune away from cars. This will bring community members closer together, allowing them to meet more people and promote healthy living.
Homes in Renaissance Ridge will also feature advanced digital technology which means our homes will also make “aging-in-place” a much more viable option for seniors. More smart home technologies will support the delivery of healthcare, educational amenities, and connectivity with friends and family which are evidence-based ways to improve one’s physical and mental well-being.
Renaissance Ridge hopes to obtain the first Virginia Sustainable Community designation with our plans to incorporate EarthCraft certified homes and smart home management. We plan to work with Viridiant to obtain this certification.
We have chosen a team who embraces our original vision and commitment to develop a special intergenerational community made up of cottages, homes and condominiums where design matters, the environment matters and where people matter.
Stay tuned for more announcements on Renaissance Ridge soon!
