Taking Action: Clayton Homes builds the i-house
Clayton iHouse
ECOstrive – Another company taking action is Clayton Homes. They are a manufacturer of houses that is building a new product called the i-home. The i-home is one of the first “Green” manufactured home designs. The i-house comes standard with dual-flush toilets, no VOC paint, tankless water heaters and much more.
Using residential modular construction techniques, the homes come with 2×6 exterior wall studs and an amazing R-21 wall and R-30 Floor and Roof insulation. The roof even includes a “butterfly” rain collection design. These features are all incorporated into an affordable package. The i-house II is a little over 1000 square feet in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath configuration for the low $90’s.
The nice part of this design is that it is modular. You can change the layout and space by adding modules. Check out the Clayton Homes web site and take a virtual tour.
ECOstrive salutes Clayton Homes for taking action and making products available that conserve energy and make us more responsible with our resources.
I got tired of complaining to my friends, or "Preaching to the Choir" so to speak. So, I created ECOstrive to post my opinion to all to see. We can be green without sacrifice.
