Timber Ridge is now LEED Certified!
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Timber Ridge's silver certification status means
that the community was
built in accordance with rigid environmental standards.
This
is something that resident focus groups told us was important
and we listened.
The benefits to the natural surroundings, habitats and eco-systems
are significant, as are the energy and cost savings, increased
efficiencies and decreased maintenance. But there's a more personal
impact for residents too, including:
- Improved comfort due to better ventilation and filtration
systems
- Efficient thermal comfort controls
- Non-toxic building materials
- Low-E windows that let in natural light while screening out
hazardous rays
- Use of native plants that do not require heavy watering or
synthetic fertilizers
