Custom Homes in Raleigh & Surrounding Areas

Delivering Energy Efficient Homes to the Triangle Area

By participating in the Duke Energy Progress Residential New Construction Program, Poythress Construction is making a commitment to building better, more energy-efficient homes. Homes that qualify for the program achieve an additional 15-20% in energy savings beyond homes built to state building code requirements. 
Independent, nationally accredited Home Energy Rating System Raters verify that qualifying homes have low HERS Scores and include these important energy-saving features:

• Increased insulation values
• Tighter building shells
• High-performance HVAC systems
• High-efficiency windows

Low HERS Scores determine a home’s quality and energy efficiency. (The lower the score, the more efficient and better-built the home.) A standard new home in the Duke Energy Progress service territory scores 85. The high-performance homes that qualify for our Residential New Construction Program feature an average HERS Score between 70 and 55, as verified by an independent HERS Rater.

Monthly savings

– Homes achieve an additional 15 to 20% in energy efficiency beyond code minimums, resulting in energy bill savings month after month.

Premier quality
