TOWN OF HARMONY WELCOMES DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES

Harmony Development Company recently announced an agreement with David Weekley Homes to build new certified green homes in the town of Harmony.
“We are excited about this arrangement with the nation's third largest privately-held builder,” said Shad Tome, President of Harmony Development Company. “David Weekley Homes is leading the way in constructing homes that help lessen the impact on the environment while saving the homebuyer money in the process. It’s a great match for Harmony.”
Slated to break ground in June 2009, all of these homes will be certified green by the Florida Green Building Coalition and will include the following features:

  • Energy Star® Certified Homes, Appliances, and Lighting – Saves up to 30% in utility costs.
  • 14 SEER HVAC Systems avoid unnecessary cooling of attics by reducing ductwork leakage from 20% to less than 3%.
  • Jump ducts in additional bedrooms help balance air flow, even out temperatures, and help the air conditioning system operate more efficiently throughout the home
  • Low “VOC” (Volatile Organic Compound) paints used throughout house
  • Water Star® compliant landscaping includes drought tolerant plants and turf
  • Recycled/Engineered wood products used for all supporting columns and beams
  • Energy Star® Electric 40 or 50 gallon hot water heater (per plan)
  • White framed Low “E” vinyl double paned insulated windows reject more of the Florida sun during some of the hottest summer months.
  • Poly-sealant at base plates, doors and windows to help prevent air infiltration
  • Low flow showerheads and lavatory faucets

The David Weekley homes will range from the $170’s to the mid $200’s. Model home to open by Fall 2009. For more information, call 407-891-8358.
