“Green and Sustainable Building” are the buzz words for housing today and if your clients have that in mind when searching for a home then, Imagine Homes, recognized as 100% Energy Star certified, is the builder for them! Owners, John Friesenhahn and Jim Bastoni, point out that green and sustainable building is not just about exceeding today’s current codes in just a few areas of the home, but rather about providing a whole-house integrated system of efficiency for the home of today that far exceeds the current codes, and essentially establishes higher energy standards for the acceptable building code of the future.
Imagine Homes consistently provides that whole-house integrated system and is the recipient of numerous awards that attest to their success in creating high performance in new home construction. Friesenhahn and Bastoni are so confident about the efficiency of their homes that they routinely place a chocolate bunny in the attics and invite everyone to see it un-melted even during the hottest summer months of the year. Imagine Homes has received the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) Green Building Award six times to date and have also won NAHB’s “Best in Green” (BIG) award for Green Community of the Year in Mahncke Park and also the U.S. EPA Energy Star Certified Homes Market Leader Award for 2021.
Friesenhahn and Bastoni know that everybody wins when they deliver a better-built home, where the owner will enjoy years of comfortable living with low maintenance, while reaping the benefits of low utility costs. Imagine Homes has worked with various local and national testing groups and certification programs to validate that the improvements they were forecasting in energy efficiency in their building practices would translate into real dollar savings for buyers.
