Modular homes in Ventura are greener and more energy efficient than site built homes. Make your home as green as it can be with a prefabricated home!

Its no secret that ‘going green’ is imperative to the dwellers of Ventura. From green dining and activities, green shopping and green cars, green architecture, and green hotels, its clear Ventura dwellers have the environment on their minds in all aspects of their lives.

USModular is committed to saving you as much money, both now and in the future, as possible. We also know that it is our responsibility to protect the environment as much as we can.

Building homes off-site and in a controlled factory allows us to utilize reusing and recycling tactics, inventory and waste control, and humidity control. Each of our customized modular homes comes with standard energy saving features. We use energy efficient Low E windows, fiberglass batt insulation, low flow valves, pex water piping, and many more environmentally friendly options. Our architects, engineers, and design team work directly with homeowners and home builders nationwide to make sure that the modular home is LEED Certified at one of the 4 levels of certification.
