Log home designs and materials result in a home that is not only naturally beautiful, but also one that exhibits a high level of energy efficiency, utilizes renewable resources, and produces a healthy home environment.

2.  Log homes have embodied a traditional
approach to home building throughout
American history.
 They are also considered to be on the leading
edge of the green construction movement.

3.  Log homes use less energy than standard homes
by taking advantage of precision milled solid
wood logs’ ability to retain heat in the winter and
cooler temps in the summer.
 Dept. of Energy study showed a solid wood log
home used 46% less energy in heating and 24%
less energy in cooling as opposed to a
conventional stick-framed house.
 Log materials and home designs meet and
exceed Energy Star rating requirements.
 Independent testing confirmed log homes receive
a 5 star rating under the Home Energy Rating
System (HERS Index).

4.  Log homes use a greater percentage of
renewable building materials than most
conventionally constructed homes.
 Materials used in a conventionally built home
(sheetrock, brick, siding, etc.) use more
energy to produce creating a more
substantial “carbon footprint.”
 The milling and treatment of logs require less
processing and use less energy consumption
making it a truly “green” home.

5.  Conventionally built homes may
contain harmful toxins that contribute
to negative health impacts.
 Logs and timbers don’t emit toxins or
other pollutants into indoor space and
help attribute a natural, desirable
humidity.

6. Live in a natural, beautiful,
and healthy environment.
Reduce the levels of stress.
Naturally relax.
