Wilmington Star News Business Editor Wayne Faulkner featured custom home builder Mark Johnson Custom Homes’s Green Home in Landfall in August 13th’s edition. Below is an excerpt and to read the complete article click here. 

“An EnergyStar home is going to be 15 percent more efficient than a home that does not qualify for the government rating,” Johnson said. “By using ICFs and high-quality windows, it puts us at 44 percent better than code.”
“The walls, which are wind-rated at 250 miles an hour, also serve to make the house quiet – allowing 0.49 decibels to pass through,” he said.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

Eastern North Carolina’s first LEED® Platinum home has recently been completed by Wilmington, NC award-winning custom home builder Mark Johnson Custom Homes. Located in Landfall, the home achieved the highest level of Green building certification through the United States Green Building Council’s LEED® for Homes Program. LEED® for Homes is a third-party certification system for high performance Green homes. Only a handful of Platinum homes exist in the US. Total annual utility savings on this home should be in excess of $2,277/year and as utility costs continue to increase, so will the savings.

“We are proud to have constructed such a beautiful yet environmentally conscious home and are thrilled about the savings the homeowner will enjoy for years to come,” said Kevin Johnson, Vice President of Business Development for Mark Johnson Custom Homes. “In five or ten years these energy efficiencies will be standard construction practices, but for the time being, we are excited to be viewed as pioneers in our industry”. 

Mark Johnson Custom Homes focused on health, sustainability, energy and water efficiencies in the 2,770 square foot, 4 bedroom/4 bath concrete home located at 2002 Kenilworth Lane, Wilmington, NC 28405. The home is listed for $624,000.
