“Go Green, Go Modular” means that choosing a modular home is a proven way to make environmentally conscious choices when building your new home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, modular construction can reduce material waste by up to 50% and improve energy efficiency by 15-20% compared to traditional on-site construction methods. Additionally, modular homes can reduce carbon emissions by up to 40%, as they require fewer transportation and on-site labor resources.

Building a modular home is an excellent way to embrace sustainability. SMI’s modular homes are built in a controlled factory environment, leading to up to 30% faster construction times than traditional stick-built on-site homes. This controlled process significantly reduces waste—studies show that factory-built homes generate up to 90% less construction waste as compared to conventional methods. Moreover, because modular construction takes place indoors, the risk of weather delays is reduced by over 80%, further cutting down costs and improving efficiency.

Energy efficiency is another major advantage of a new modular home. Energy-efficient designs, such as solar panel integration and high-performance HVAC systems, can reduce utility costs by up to 50%. Homeowners can also choose energy-efficient materials that meet Energy Star or LEED certification standards, making their homes more sustainable and cost-effective in the long run.

Overall, modular homes offer multiple cost-saving and environmental benefits compared to traditional construction. Going Green with modular construction can include 30% faster build times, 50% less material waste, and 40% lower carbon emissions. Modular homes are an excellent option for those looking to go green. Go Green. Go Modular. Go SMI Homes!
