Modular homes in Anaheim are greener and more energy efficient than site built residential buildings. Make your customized home as green as it can be with a modular home!
Its clear that ‘going green’ is a priority to the residents of Anaheim. From green cars, green architecture and green hotels, green dining and activities, and green shopping, its evident Anaheim residents have the environment on their minds in all parts of their lives.
USModular is compelled to saving you as much money, both now and in the future, as possible. We also know that its our responsibility as home builders to care for the environment as much as we can.
Assembling homes off-site and in a controlled factory allows us to capitalize on reusing and recycling procedures, inventory and garbage control, and humidity control. Each of our customized modular residential buildings comes standard with many environmentally friendly aspects. We use energy efficient Low E windows, fiberglass batt insulation, low flow valves, pex water piping, and many more environmentally friendly options. Our design teams and architects work directly with homeowners and home builders from throughout the country to ensure that their custom modular project is LEED Certified at one of the 4 levels of certification.
