AUBURN - Calif , American Home Sales, Inc. a provider of quality manufactured homes has announced the unveiling of a new HUD Green Home! The Open House is on January 12, 2008 at 11:00am. American Home Sales is a proud partner of the EPA Energy Star New Homes Program and has made a commitment to building all Energy Star qualified homes. "These homes are built to meet the strict standard set by EPA and DOE for energy efficiency and superior performance and are 25 - 40% more energy efficient than the average HUD or conventional home! Our homes also incorporate other "green" features including: water conservation, using and promoting recycled materials, improved indoor air quality, built-in recycling center, trash compactor, solar ready, high efficiency appliances, and more! We have found that there is demand by consumers for a green , energy efficient home. And the cost factor is nominal. Most our homes average $50-65 sqft .. This home will be the springboard for affordable, healthy green living! " -Nichoel Farris
 
Each Energy Star qualified home can keep 4,500 lbs of greenhouse gases out of our air each year. And because homes have such long life-spans, this environmental benefit lasts for many, many years. - (Source: EnergyStar.gov)
 
The market for manufactured homes is exploding! The homes can be built faster and less expensive than conventionally building, and on a more predictable schedule. Our state-of-the art lean building manufacturing process enables us to design and build an Energy Star efficient home in almost any size and style. The factory constructed homes are built in a controlled environment where material management and painting techniques are highly efficient and regulated with the added benefit of reducing waste by 50-75%.

"We feel a collective urgency as individuals and as a company to make strides toward a more ecologically responsible future, a common future. We are proud of what we have accomplished, but realize there is more to do! That is why American Home Sales will continue to research and develop our product with new innovative ways to increase efficiency while maintaining affordability."

The New Eco Home will be open to the public as of the OPEN HOUSE on January 12, 2008. The home will feature kids "save the planet art" and will be furnished, and stocked with organic, biodegradable, and sustainable alternatives for home building and maintenance to help educate our potential new home owners on environmentally conscious choices.
