Future Home Technology, Inc. (FHT) is
Energy Star Compliant and going Green.

Energy Star; helpful memory joggers as it relates to buying FHT modular homes:

• R-21 insulation in the walls; R-38 insulation in the ceilings; standards in FHT building specifications for high end energy savings relating to heating and cooling.

• Bath fan with auto timer; 100 CFM Fan/Light combination for constant air flow. Standard with our building specifications.

• Energy star lighting fixtures can be obtained as an option; Fixtures with special energy efficient bulbs (pin type).

• FHT caulking at plates and panel intersections for air leakage makes the home energy star air-tight. Currently, FHT caulks around receptacles, switches, windows, doors, and light fixture boxes.

• Ultimately, our modular homes are energy star compliant providing the builder adheres to local energy star requirements at the job site. Also, when ordering a home that is expected to obtain federal and state energy credits, energy compliance must be indicated to FHT upfront so your inspector can review our energy building processes in our plant.

• FHT use of R-21 and R-38 insulation in our walls and ceilings are formaldehyde free Green products.

• FHT use of Andersen windows and sliding glass doors are Green products.

• FHT uses of Merillat kitchen and bathroom cabinetry are Green products.

• FHT use of Shaw carpets are Green products.

• FHT is currently reviewing changing our paint to a Green product with Low VOC.

• Certain wood components can be purchased as options that are Green products such as Fingerjoint or MDF mouldings.  In addition, FHT offers “FSC” lumber for Green use. 

We are attaching a New York Times article which featured our home (picture) that was built where our builder obtained a Platinum Leeds rating. (See New York Times September 13, 2009 Designed, Delivered and Sealed; this was our home featured in the article. Needless to say, going very Green is quite expensive as it relates to the purchase of certain wood products. That said, FHT is committed to using Green products that meet your customer requirements.
