Green Building

"A Millennial make-over: As young adult buyers come into their own in their careers, and shed college debt, they’re not bringing with them pre-conceptions that new houses should be large in terms of square footage. Connectivity—to neighborhoods, outdoors, food, health, and social networks—is the new square footage." - Forbes 

MOWI wants to do every project in such a way that will nurture the environment and make the world more pleasant for generations to come. MOWI has fostered relationships with partners that strive to create more sustainable housing while following responsible practices such as waste reduction and recycling. MOWI's energy efficient homes save money and resources and have a positive impact on the health of their occupants, while promoting renewable, clean energy. Below are 3 reasons why MOWI utilizes green building standards in its homes:

• Environment - Green initiatives reduce waste, conserve natural resources, improve water quality, air quality, and protect ecosystems.
• Savings - Green materials and practices reduce energy consumption, which in turn, reduce energy bills.
• Health - Sustainable design enhances our overall quality of life by improving air quality, water quality and reducing noise pollution.

"Modular home construction is more environmentally friendly than its site-built counterpart. Engineered construction materials are utilized, and effective in-plant recycling is in place at most modular home manufacturing facilities. This means that all the excess materials are able to be recycled. This may not sound impressive, but one of the dirty secrets of site builders is the amount of waste a new site built home generates. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Research Center, the “typical” waste for a new 2,000 square foot site built home is eight thousand (8,000) pounds or fifty (50) cubic yards. In 2000, the cost to dispose of this averaged $511 per home. Consequently, while waste from a site built home typically goes in a landfill, waste from a modular home is recycled." - HomeAdvisor
