Jeff Rutt, Founder and CEO of Keystone Custom Homes, believes that every house that his firm builds must be safe not only to its residents but also to the environment. This is why the building company uses green (or sustainable) building technology where builders use environment-friendly materials when working on houses and other infrastructures. Green building is applied not just in the construction stage but in all stages, from siting to demolition. The main objective of green building is to lessen the impact of building on natural environment and the health of the structure’s occupants.

The need for sustainable building started in the ‘70s and continues to grow as pollution increases and natural resources decrease. This concept stresses the importance of using renewable energy sources and using natural materials in building houses.
Jeff Rutt and Keystone Custom Homes make certain that the houses built by the company have the following characteristics that adhere to the concept of green building:

• Correctly installed insulation in floors and walls reduces energy usage and evens out the temperatures.
• Energy-efficient windows, which are made of protective coatings and sturdy frames, can block the heat and harmful UV rays during summer and lock the heat in during winter.
• Properly sealed holes and cracks in the ducts help lessen moisture, pollen, dust, and noise, therefore improving the air’s quality and reducing maintenance.
• Properly installed heating and cooling systems use less energy and reduce humidity
• Energy-efficient and ENERGY STAR-qualified products used at home help cut down electricity costs.
