Mission Statement: To advance sustainable, affordable, resource and energy efficient construction through education and technical support.

EarthCraft promotes diligent airsealing and energy efficiency. Airsealing of the building envelope and its mechanical systems, while still allowing for fresh air intake, provides a tighter building envelope at little additional cost. There is less communication of air and sound between units and better indoor air quality through the use of managed fresh-air intakes. Thus, projects are more energy efficient, less costly to occupy, and more durable overall. 

Resource efficient materials such as concrete with fly ash, cellulose insulation, and carpet pad and carpet containing recycled materials defer wastes from landfills. With window and insulation levels that exceed code, water conservation measures, and the use of ENERGY STAR appliances, utility bills remain low after move in.
