Second WaterSense-labeled home completed in North Carolina

 Nappier & Turner Construction Co., Inc. crossed the threshold into water efficiency with the completion of its first WaterSense labeled new home in late 2009. As a participant in the WaterSense new homes pilot program, Nappier & Turner, based in Hendersonville, North Carolina, has helped lay the foundation for builders across the country to construct WaterSense labeled new homes.


“It feels good to complete our model home and to be able to show consumers how this home is a solution to some of the issues we face today,” says Jeff Huntley, president of Nappier & Turner. “This program is a continuation of our commitment to building sensible, green homes that are designed to work well for occupants and are easy on our natural resources. WaterSense gives us the guidelines to help make the right decisions with the homes we are building.”


As one of seven builders chosen in August 2008 to participate in EPA’s new homes pilot program, Nappier & Turner’s home is the second home to be built to the WaterSense draft specification for new homes. Vanguard Homes finished the first WaterSense labeled home as part of the pilot in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in early 2009.
