Hillcrest in Bullhead City, AZ Focusing on Energy Efficiency

Online, December 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Manufactured home builders have long been known to provide cutting edge energy efficiency options in the homes they offer the public. However, few planned communities that cater to manufactured and modular homes throughout the country maintain a serious commitment to energy efficiency and green living. Hillcrest in Bullhead City, in cooperation with Hallmark-Southwest Corporation, a California based manufactured home builder, is taking great strides in updating new homes in the community and in making the common areas throughout the park operate near net-zero energy efficiency.

A model home in the community is currently operating at net-zero energy consumption through the combination of a highly energy efficient building envelope and a cutting edge solar system using state of the art inverter technology. "Power production is optimized through the new inverter technology and the entire system can be remotely monitored to insure efficiency and proper system functionality," said Luca Brammer, Director of Business Development for Hallmark-Southwest. In addition to the energy efficient model home, the gas streetlights in the park have recently been converted to solar power throughout the community and all of the common areas will be powered by solar power by the end of 2011. "We are taking great strides towards making Hillcrest a great example of planned manufactured home communities," remarked Mr. Brammer. "It makes sense that in places like Bullhead City, which benefits from some of the best sun exposure in the United States, that energy efficient community planning should be standard practice."

In addition to providing a sustainable footprint in the Bullhead City area, the model home and homes planned for the future will most definitely appeal to new residents in the area looking for the highest quality manufactured homes available on the market. "We are confident that people looking to buy a new manufactured home in the Bullhead City area will immediately understand the superior value, features and benefits of living at Hillcrest. They also will appreciate the improved quality of life knowing that their total cost of living in Hillcrest is an average of $350/month for utilities, taxes, insurance & HOA fees, as well as pride of land and home ownership." said Leigh Gawthorp, a Bullhead City area real estate broker.
