• By using engineered wood products (a composite material of wood chips), smaller and fewer trees are used. It enables 80% more of the log to be used (even smaller logs) eliminating the need for older growth trees. These products are also more durable than lumber, so they reduce your maintenance and replacement costs.
• Our home designs provide two benefits: energy efficiency and prevention of excess waste. By eliminating wasted interior volume (e.g. no vaulted ceilings), there is less volume to heat. And, the more efficient designs produce 75% less construction waste than traditional homes.
• We've developed a homesite-by-homesite erosion-control program that minimizes water runoff, resulting in cleaner water for salmon.
• Quadrant's strict recycling program for everything from cardboard to metal scraps allows for significantly less waste material, which reduces landfill use.

Cascade Land Conservancy

Quadrant has a strong partnership with the Cascade Land Conservancy, a nonprofit land conservation organization. That's why we offer every one of our homebuyers a free membership to the Conservancy, in addition to making a donation to the organization for every home we sell.

Quadrant has also worked with CLC to form and execute a very successful public-private partnership - the Snoqualmie Preservation Initiative - providing additional housing in East King County while preserving more than 9,000 acres of forest.

Energy Star® Partner

Already the largest Energy Star certified builder in the Puget Sound region, Quadrant Homes is proud to announce that we are the very first Washington homebuilder to offer you homes qualifying for the new Energy Star Homes Northwest program. This newer, more rigorous environmental standard was created because progressive Washington and Oregon state energy codes were among the most stringent in the nation and exceed Energy Star specifications used in most other parts of the country. Choosing the option of building a Quadrant Home to these new efficiency standards can potentially save you hundreds of dollars per year in energy bills. Moreover, you can enjoy a more comfortable living space, more consistent temperatures across rooms and improved air quality. This would be due to higher efficiency heating and cooling equipment, tightly sealed ductwork, high-performance Energy Star qualified windows, more insulation and Energy Star qualified appliances and lighting. Best of all, you'll be helping the Pacific Northwest's environment stay just as it is - beautiful.

Even if you don't choose to have your home Energy Star certified, please note that you can still elect to have Energy Star certified appliances or a high-efficiency furnace. Regardless of your choice, the team at our New Home Showroom can explain the Energy Star choice to you and show how you can save on your utility bills each month.
