Energy Systems – RGBS

Real Green Building Systems (RGBS) combines water conservation, energy conservation and renewable energy technologies (see list below) to create a proactive, passive (vs. passive solar) home. The RGBS patent-pending, integrated systems approach results in minimal energy required for heating and cooling.

Water Conservation

• Plumbing Based Fire Protection System
• Reclamation of Water

Solar Therman Heat

• Efficient Hot Water Heating & Distribution
• Radiant Floor Heating

Energy Conservation / Generation

• Thermal Building Wrap Insulation
• Photovoltaic Renewable Energy

• Up to 50% reduction in infrastructure cost and Carbon Footprint
• Water storage requirements reduced by 50%, fire hydrants reduced by 75%
• Homes have qualified for an ISO 2 rating

• Building concessions made due to use of energy efficient building technologies such as: closed attic, affordable insulation under concrete slab
• Materials sourced and stocked locally thru-out the country
• Designs in place for radiant heating, solar, reclaimed water and plumbing based fire protection systems
• All systems fall within state approved guidelines for energy and water conservation technologies
• Assistance with regulatory oversight { ICC,UPC }

• Comparably priced to traditional homes, 2100 sf ranging from $185,000-$225,000 (2010)
• 75%-80% less energy required
• 35%-50% less water required
• Significantly reduced home owners insurance due to better ISO rating
