Why Work With Us?

Viridiant staff is always available and ready to answer questions or troubleshoot issues that come up during construction. They understand that design and construction is a fluid process and there are often unique circumstances that need to be addressed quickly and thoughtfully.

We’re appreciating the comfortable, steady temperatures in the house, day and night. No drafts, no sudden changes. The prompt hot water delivery is quite a treat. We rarely hear outside noises. Barking dogs and neighbors’ power tools are the only exception. Otherwise it’s a joy. Our air exchanger appears to trap any fine dust and we don’t get to breathe it – so we’ve been quite healthy since we moved in at the beginning of last July. Our electric bills have been remarkably low – and that’s been a welcome change. Three cheers for Promethean Homes!

Andrew’s knowledge of 1930’s homes was really helpful. He was able to identify a number of easy fixes, as well as help talk us through accomplishing the more intensive ones. As new homeowners, his encouraging demeanor was so lovely. We felt comfortable asking questions and trusted his recommendations. We have continued to use him as a resource as we move forward with solar installation.

Virginia Supportive Housing has partnered with Viridiant for over ten years on nearly ten multi-family projects in Virginia. Through the administration of the EarthCraft program, Viridiant has helped us not only identify ways to make our properties more sustainable and energy efficient but they have also helped us create healthy, durable spaces for both our residents and staff. As a local business, we love that Viridiant staff is always available to discuss our projects and problem solve any issues we may have.

Since I am new to Richmond I have been trying to find a different neighborhood or area throughout the city to walk around in whenever I get the chance. I have already gotten a great feel for the various aesthetics of the city, and it seemed fitting for Earth Day to head over and enjoy all that Maymont Park has to offer. This is a great 100 acre space filled with gardens, wildlife, and seemingly endless paths to guide you throughout the hills and lakes. I am very excited to go back for Earth Day and continue exploring while supporting the local greenspace. Donations for upkeep of the space are accepted at virtual podiums at the entrance gates to the park.

EarthCraft is a very flexible program, which works with all building types and sizes, and the entire Viridiant staff, from the technical advisor to the inspector, truly work as a member of the development team to assist the project to a successful completion!

Just wanted to drop you a quick note and say that yesterday was one of the best presentations we have had at KBS in awhile. Really a great job and some good things to consider in construction and at my own house.

Richmond Habitat welcomes the expertise of Viridiant’s professional staff and its technical advisors to build healthier and more sustainable, energy efficient homes. They are a true partner in our affordable housing building efforts. For very reasonable fees, they exceed expectations in answering questions and visiting the site to educate the builder on sustainable practices. Their technical support during the design and pre-drywall inspection have helped us lower our HERS ratings to the low 70s/high 60s. In other words, we are building homes that are 30-35% more energy efficient than other new homes built to code. For these reasons, RMHFH builds all of our new homes and all possible remodels to the EarthCraft certification standard.

At my house we’re going to do a nature scavenger hunt! I found a really cool one at talkstem.org that my kids will love and will get them out and engaged with our environment.

I plan to spend as much time outside as possible by reading on the patio, going on a bike ride, taking my dogs on a long walk, and playing around in my garden.
