Why build green?
Building green makes good sense. By using better insulation, water heaters and furnaces,
energy star appliances, lighting packages and recycled products. We all win. You will consume fewer natural
resources and enjoy draft-free homes with a lower energy cost. Castalia's use of low VOC (Volatide Organic
Compounds), low toxic paints and adhesives helps reduce odors while improving indoor air quality. Green building is a plan to build green from the beginning, not after construction has
started. Cost is minimal (2 to 4 percents) compared to the health and
well being of your family. Castalia Homes will walk you through all phases of
