Green

Building costs are not the only area Artifex can save clients money. Much of the work done by Artifex is green, which lowers the cost of living. The insulation in the house is a hybrid of closed cell, spray, and fiberglass insulation. This is a cutting edge green insulation technique that lowers the cost of utility bills and is environmentally responsible. All of the windows in the house are Pella architectural windows, which are top of the line green insulated windows, which also lower heating and cooling costs.

The house is heated and cooled with high efficiency furnaces, which use the highest percent of fuel. All of the appliances are Energy Star rated. Even the luxurious master bathroom is green. While featuring jumbo 1' by 2' Moda Cafe tile that look like leather and grass. The floor is actually heated with a NuHeat heated floor system and while a heated floor is a luxury, when the whole bathroom uses less than the equivalent of a 100 watt light bulb it seems worth while.
