New Technology Building – Performance and Value

As a Pepper Viner Company, Native Tucson Builders offers not only the highest construction standards; but also, the opportunity for your remodel or renovation to create a lifetime of savings.

We call it “New Technology – Building Performance and Value” (NTB-PV) and it’s part of what we do for you. When we review your plans with you, you’re going to see a section labeled NTB-PV. We are the only ones who do it and it’s a project specific review of what we can do that will make your home more energy-efficient. We’re trying to save you money.  Our Director of Building Science will take a close look at your home and your remodeling and renovation project.  He will define areas where we can help you go green as part of your project and also identify where your investment will be cost efficient for you now and energy saving for your future.

We know what works and we are not going to recommend something that isn’t right for your home or that won’t give you an adequate payback. We will look at your home — evaluate everything from how it’s positioned on your lot to your duct work – and provide an NTB-PV report that pinpoints the areas that will work for your home, your remodeling project and your pocketbook.

Pepper Viner Homes has led the way in building science and green building.  Their collaboration with BASF (www.betterhomebetterplanet.com) created a near zero energy home that is 80% more energy efficient than other new homes built to code.  This home was a living laboratory that gave Pepper Viner Homes – and now Native Tucson Builders – the knowledge to know what features were cost-efficient energy savers and which gave the highest return on the investment. Pepper Viner Homes is only one of the ½ of 1% of builders nationwide to meet the high standards of the Builder’s Challenge – and they did it in every home at their Civano North Ridge Community.
