Building green isn’t a trend; it’s a responsibility here at Paltrin. From energy use to indoor air quality, every decision we make reflects a commitment to healthier living, long-term durability, and smarter design. Whether you’re starting fresh or upgrading an existing home, we integrate proven strategies and substantiate the work with third-party certifications to ensure your home performs beautifully inside and out.
A green home is more than just energy efficient. It’s designed for cleaner air, smarter resource use, and long-term savings. Paltrin built homes on average produce:
We back these outcomes with certification and testing, not assumptions.
This state-based program provides a Home Performance Report (HPR) for every certified home, showing how your home performs across the green building continuum. At its core is the HERS Index, the industry-standard score for measuring home energy use. Lower HERS scores mean better energy performance and greater savings.
*Stated number is a rating as assigned by a certified ratings service. The final rating number is assigned after final assessments are finished and the example shown is purely for demonstration purposes and not specific to any property featured on this site.
As a DOE-recognized builder, we design homes that are so efficient that all or most of their annual energy use can be offset with renewable energy like solar. These homes represent the future of building, ready for resilience, savings, and sustainability.
Indoor air quality matters. Poor air can contribute to asthma, allergies, and long-term health issues. With airPLUS certification, we address hidden pollutants, like mold, radon, and VOCs, by using materials and ventilation strategies that make your home healthier and safer for your family.
At Paltrin, we don’t treat green building as a checklist; it’s part of how we think, design, and build. We’re committed to ongoing education, careful material selection, and smart implementation that balances performance with your unique project goals. Every home is an opportunity to push sustainable design forward, while staying grounded in what matters most: comfort, quality, and integrity.
