At Kashima Builders, our mission is to design and construct high-performance homes that combine exceptional craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and long-term sustainability. We are committed to building healthier, more comfortable living environments while helping homeowners reduce energy consumption, lower utility costs, and minimize their environmental impact.
Every home we build is guided by a whole-house approach to energy performance, integrating advanced building science principles with practical, durable construction methods. We carefully evaluate and incorporate high-performance building envelopes, superior insulation systems, energy-efficient windows and doors, advanced air sealing techniques, and high-efficiency HVAC systems to maximize comfort and minimize energy loss.
As a leader in energy-conscious residential construction, Kashima Builders is dedicated to designing and building Net Zero Ready and Net Zero Energy homes that meet or exceed Massachusetts energy code requirements. Our goal is to achieve HERS (Home Energy Rating System) scores below 42 on all new homes equipped with solar energy systems, verified through comprehensive third-party testing, including blower door performance testing and energy modeling.
To further reduce reliance on fossil fuels and support long-term sustainability, we incorporate solar energy systems with a minimum 4 kW photovoltaic array, properly sized and managed to support the energy demands of a modern single-family home. By balancing energy production with energy conservation, we help homeowners move toward true net-zero performance while increasing resilience and reducing operating costs.
From window U-values, air infiltration rates, and thermal envelope performance to renewable energy generation and mechanical system efficiency, we consider every detail that contributes to superior building performance. Our commitment is to deliver homes that are durable, resilient, healthy, environmentally responsible, and built to perform for generations.
Kashima Builders is dedicated to leading the future of residential construction through innovation, quality craftsmanship, energy-efficient design, and an unwavering commitment to sustainable building practices.
