Maine Green Builder and Remodeler

Building Green, Building Smart

Our home building formula was derived from years of research  and designed to meet the demanding goals for high
performance green construction without breaking the bank.  Our homes are independently tested and verified to meet the
strict standards of the
Energy Star home program and average at least 40% more efficient then local building codes require.

Using a precision crafted
panelized building process combined with the best insulations and building products on the market,
we guarantee our homes and additions will be the best investment you can make.  The benefits of building green include cost
savings from reduced energy, water, and waste; lower operations and maintenance costs; and enhanced occupant
productivity and health. Analysis of these areas indicates that total financial benefits of green buildings are over ten times the
average initial investment required to design and construct a green building.

A new home from Built By Adams now averages over $1,200.00 per year in energy savings  and over 250 gallons of fuel
saved per year. This is not only a significant savings to you and your family, but it decreases our need for fossil fuels and
reduces our carbon emissions. To protect our planet, we need to make better decisions, not only in the homes we build, but in
our everyday lives. Building green with Built By Adams is one of those decisions you can make to improve the quality of life
for you and our environment.

At Built By Adams, we give you options to build green with our Turn-Key building process or the
Smart Equity Homes
program. We want everyone to own an energy efficient home and give you the resources to make your dreams come true.

A Green  Home Begins with ENERGY STAR Blue
"In 2002, with the help of the
ENERGY STAR program, Americans
prevented greenhouse gas emissions
equivalent to those from 14 million
vehicles and avoided using the
power that 50 300-megawatt power
plants would have produced, while
saving more then $7 billion."

- ENERGY STAR
Warranty
“As consumers become more
educated and familiar with all of
these benefits that energy efficiency
has to offer, in 5 years non-ENERGY
STAR rated homes will become
functionally obsolete.”
