It is important to mention that Homes In Partnership, Inc. (HIP) is dedicated to the continues advancement of utilizing the most cost-effective and safest building standards. All homes are built using the latest construction methods and materials, which comply with stringent hurricane guidelines. The homes are also designed energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly for homeowners. By building "green", HIP is able to pass along many additional benefits to homeownership. Through a cooperative effort with Progress Energy, HIP is committed to building Energy Star homes. Energy Star homes are more energy-efficient, creating immediate and long-term savings for homeowners.

HIP continues to expand its knowledge of energy-efficient, healthy home building techniques in order to pass that knowledge on. Homeowners are currently educated about post-purchase maintenance for their homes, and HIP is in the process of incorporating education about green building features as well. This will enable families to maintain their healthy, energy-efficient homes long after the construction process has been completed.
