Environmental Activities

Veridian cares about their environment, neighbors and customers, and they continue to succeed in both environmental improvements and business advances. They build increasingly energy efficient homes and continually test new technology that benefits homeowners and the environment. They have improved methods of reducing sediment releases and maintain erosion minimization goals. The company continues to develop expertise to build homes at a high level through the Focus on Energy Program.

Veridian Homes includes specific environmental requirements in agreements with over 200 trade partners. Their partners indicate that they also routinely use these requirements as best practices when working for other companies.

Throughout 2020, Veridian continued to show improvement in the energy efficiency of new build homes. Improvement is verified by performance testing and REMRATE v 15.7.3. High efficiency housing minimizes environmental impacts, not only for the current year, but over the life of the house. Approximately 527 Veridian homes were certified by Focus on Energy in 2020. Veridian achieved a REMRATE estimated total energy savings of over 658,000 kWh and 70,000 therms per year.
