Testimonials

What our clients say

“In partnership with Viridiant, SupportWorks Housing was able to design and construct Cool Lane Commons to meet EarthCraft Gold and Housing Innovations in Energy Efficiency standards, prioritizing both sustainable design methods and the long-term health of the property and its residents.”

“We worked with an EarthCraft builder to build our custom 3,200-square-foot home in Chesterfield County. The building cost was about 5 to 10 percent over current code construction. But our entire energy bill for the first year was approximately $1,000—much lower than we had expected. Our home is very solid, quiet, comfortable, and conventional appearing. We’re pleased that we helped conserve dwindling natural resources while lowering our utility bills.”

“In our family, allergies are just part of the DNA. In our new EarthCraft home, allergies are reduced substantially. Dust bunnies don’t take up residence and mold doesn’t have a chance in a home with clean, filtered air.”

Great experience with Viridiant!! Amory was extremely knowledgeable and gave us so much helpful information. We now have a list of priorities for how to increase our home's comfort and reduce our energy bill. Many of these we can do ourselves. We know what products we need and the report even included links to find these products. What a huge time saver!! For more involved issues, Amory sent a list of trusted providers along with applicable rebate information. We highly recommend Viridiant!
