GOSHEN, N.Y. (April 26, 2012) – The Ruby Group has installed a geothermal heating and air conditioning system into one of its new homes at the Vista Woods at Blooming Grove development site.
The company, based in Goshen, has a wide range of experience in technology and energy efficiency, and has built a strong reputation in the industry for its energy-savings expertise in both residential homes and commercial buildings. It is one of the few companies, in the region, that have achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for a home.
“We are extremely proud that our firm is once again leading the way when it comes to energy-efficient technology in residential properties,” said Peter Berman, CEO of The Ruby Group. “This geothermal heating and air conditioning system will be second to none in allowing the homeowners to efficiently heat and cool their home, reducing their impact on the environment and saving them money on their utility bills.”
Geothermal heating systems work by utilizing the natural heat energy contained within the Earth, extracted via a heat pump. The energy can then be used to heat spaces, especially large ones that might otherwise be difficult to heat using other types of systems.
The Ruby Group works closely with Home Energy Rating (HER) verifiers and providers to ensure that it works with the greatest focus possible on energy efficiency in all of its projects. The firm sets itself apart by incorporating things like Energy Star-rated appliances, modular components, pre-cast foundation wall systems, tankless water heaters, plumbing manifolds, spray foam insulation and more. To date, TRG projects have received four LEED Platinum, three LEED Gold and seven National Green Building Program Gold certifications.
The Vista Woods at Blooming Grove development features 14 home units that have been well received by future homeowners, who have responded to their great value, excellent location and high level of construction quality. To learn more about the development, visit www.vistawoodsNY.com.
