Charlotte Builders Leading the Way in Sustainable Design

Big news in the Charlotte Business Journal:

Four local builders are being recognized for their leadership in sustainability, solar, and energy efficiency. We are very proud to work with three of them: Wittehaus, Spoke & Hammer, and Tri Pointe Homes.

Highlights from the article:

  • Solar & efficiency under pressure: With the federal solar tax credit ending this year and ENERGY STAR at risk, builders are doubling down on smarter, healthier, more efficient homes.
  • Design that works for people and the planet: From passive solar design to tighter building envelopes and better indoor air quality, these builders are proving sustainability is about long-term health and comfort as much as energy savings.
  • Innovation in action: Wittehaus champions “every home as its own Duke Energy plant,” Spoke & Hammer is building to Zero Energy Ready and Passive House standards, and Tri Pointe’s LivingSmart program makes healthier, lower-cost homes accessible at scale.

The home pictured in the article is the same one we featured in our Day in the Life of an Energy Rater series on social media!
