Green Home Plans

All home designs from TightLines tread lightly on the environment and are healthier for you, too. From all the knowledge we've gained from our experience with construction techniques and various certification processes, we've built up a library of details and green opportunites to make your home as healthy, energy efficient, and sustainable as possible.  We've made a significant investment in time and effort to provide in every set of construction drawings a sheet of ' Green Opportunities' - suggestions and recommendations that serve as guidelines to make your home live better and be better for the environment. These 'opportunities' and our standard drawings include the following green details among many others:

• Framing Efficiency — Interior and Exterior insulated 2-stud corners with drywall clips, T-walls with drywall clips
• Optional non-bearing wall studs at 24” o.c.
• Raised heel trusses (for framing efficiency and continuity of insulation)
• Insulated window and door header details
• Insulation techniques
• Overhang depth options
• Window flashing details
• Metal roof drip edge and roof gutters
• Continuous foundation termite flashing
• Conditioned crawlspace options
• Construction site issues such as centralized cutting areas, recycle bins,  and stormwater run-off controls
