With every home Clarum builds, whether it’s a new home, an exceptional custom home, or a green renovation of an existing home, Clarum strives to design and build the highest performance home possible at each location – we call it the Enviro-HomeTM. The Enviro-HomeTM was designed to minimize the use of resources, create a healthier, more comfortable living environment, and to greatly enhance the value of the home.
As a leader in green building, Clarum is continually focused on energy efficiency, indoor air quality and health, water conservation methods, and the procurement of eco-friendly materials. We constantly seek the newest and most innovative systems and materials to include in the Enviro-HomeTM so our homes are always improving.
While each community, custom home and green renovation may vary, here are some of the standard features you might expect to find in a Clarum Enviro-HomeTM: |
