Dallas, TX (June 22, 2010)... McGuyer Homebuilders, Inc. (MHI) has registered its 1,000th Green Built Texas home for its three brands Plantation Homes, Coventry Homes, and Carmel Builders in the Austin, San Antonio and DFW markets. MHI was the first volume builder to adopt the Green Built North Texas Program and named its green building program "Eco Smart".

"We are very proud of this significant milestone, says Rudy Pospisil, MHI Division President. "We embarked on our Eco Smart program as an early adopter to the Green Built Texas program and have seen the program’s emergence in the industry as a building standard," added Pospisil.

Phil Crone, Director of Government Affairs and Green Building Programs, for Green Built Texas, added, "I commend MHI for your leadership and your longstanding commitment to the program."

MHI homes built to "Eco Smart" standards fit a broad spectrum of aesthetic tastes and retain their curb appeal while being more energy efficient, healthier and environmentally responsible. By adhering to the "Eco Smart" standards, MHI Homeowners benefit from long-term savings, protection from rising energy costs, increased resale value and improved home comfort.

By offering "Eco Smart" homes in all three lines, MHI offers buyers in all price ranges the opportunity to own an ecologically friendly home. From the award-winning designs of Plantation Homes, beginning at the $140’s to the luxurious, customized Coventry Homes from the $230’s, and the well appointed townhomes by Carmel Builders from the $200s, buyers don’t have to sacrifice choice to own a green home.

The Green Built Texas program is a partnership of North Texas homebuilders, industry supporters, and sponsors committed to resource-efficient home construction. The program consists of 38 construction guidelines that address strategies for six categories of construction including jobsite management, water efficiency, indoor air quality, material usage, and homeowner education.
