How Tumbleweed Achieves the Highest Level of Green Certification

Our dedication to green building goes beyond just meeting standards; it’s about surpassing them.

  • Heat Recovery Ventilation System (HRV): Our tiny homes are equipped with HRV systems that ensure your indoor air quality remains fresh and free from moisture-related issues like condensation. This system not only promotes a healthier living environment but also enhances energy efficiency by recovering heat from exhausted air.

  • Non-Emitting Insulation: We use insulation made from recycled materials that do not emit harmful chemicals, contributing to a healthier indoor environment while also reducing waste.

  • Ductless and Efficient HVAC Systems: Our heating and air conditioning systems are ductless and highly efficient, providing the perfect balance of comfort and sustainability. By eliminating ducts, we reduce the potential for energy loss and improve overall efficiency.

  • Dual Pane Energy-Efficient Windows: These windows are designed to minimize heat loss and maximize natural light, helping to reduce energy consumption and maintain a comfortable interior temperature year-round.

  • Low Flow Water Fixtures: Water conservation is a priority in our tiny homes. We use low flow fixtures that significantly reduce water usage without sacrificing performance, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.

  • Composting Options: For those looking to minimize their environmental impact even further, we offer composting options that provide an eco-friendly solution to waste management.

  • Energy-Efficient Appliances and Lighting: Our tiny homes are outfitted with energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting, which are designed to consume less electricity and reduce overall energy costs.

  • Certified Lumber, Sheathing, and Subfloor: We source our materials from suppliers who meet stringent environmental standards, ensuring that our lumber, sheathing, and subfloor are all certified for sustainability.

  • Recycling and Donating Excess Materials: Any excess materials generated during the construction process are either recycled offsite or donated to the ReStore, reducing waste and supporting the community.

At Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, we believe in building green tiny homes that are not only beautiful and functional but also kind to our planet. Our highest level of Green Certification is a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainability and our passion for creating a better future—one tiny home at a time.
