Yesterday while at Estancia, we had the opportunity to watch some of the world’s most recognizable team ropers while they filmed an instructional video. It was fun! You’ll see on the video that they had a helicopter with a video camera flying in the arena to capture some the action. These gentleman are very skilled and passionate about roping!

To Authentic Custom Homes, “Building Green” means being conscientious, in every facet of our business, from daily operations, design, construction and warranty. Starting with the design phase, we carefully assess the land and blend the home with the natural amenities of the site, capturing views and preserving trees. We take extra effort to minimize disturbance during construction. We incorporate quality energy efficient products. We have implemented schedules that maximize productivity which requires less energy. We remain up to date on advances in technology and how it impacts the home, the homeowner and the end product we build.

Increased Comfort:

• When building a green home you start with good design and sensitivity to orientation. When orientation is not ideal use deep porches and/or other methods of shading large glass areas from direct sun.
• Controlling humidity and indoor air quality can be accomplished easily with the correct equipment and proper planning. Ideal indoor humidity should be between 40% and 50%.
• High quality vinyl or wood windows with double pane, low-e glass are a must for controlling heat transfer, especially when windows are not shaded.

Lower operating costs and utility bills:  Energy efficient air-conditioning equipment, appliances and lighting will lower energy consumption and pay for themselves.

Increased value! At Authentic Custom Homes, we focus on utilizing energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable materials and technologies.
