“We think every builder and homeowner in the area we serve—which includes Coastal Virginia and northeast North Carolina—can benefit in some way from our services,” says Ken Krooner, co-owner of CoVa Green Homes. “As of July of this year, Virginia has put a new regulation in place that states every new house being built will have to be blower door tested to confirm a minimum level of air tightness of the building envelope. We can provide that service, as well as a variety of different products and services that can help builders meet these new code requirements while also assisting homeowners in meeting their energy efficiency goals.”

The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) is one way to accomplish that. “HERS modeling is something that builders and homeowners can use to get energy efficient tax credits,” says Chris Morin, co-owner. “We can also test homes to evaluate your energy consumption and provide solutions to improve overall energy efficiency. Think of it like buying a car that gets good gas milage. Your home is your largest investment, we can help you maximize its value and make it run more efficiently.”
