The EarthCraft House program is a voluntary green building program, which serves as a blueprint for healthy, comfortable homes that respect and protect the environment and help save utility costs (with an average 28-percent greater energy efficiency rating than typical new homes). EarthCraft communities must undergo a rigorous certification process that includes strict building guidelines, builder training and goal-oriented charrettes. EarthCraft-certified communities lead the way in a new environmentally sound way of living. Patrick Square is one of the first communities in South Carolina to make this commitment.

JMC Communities and Patrick Square were recently recognized as the 2010 EarthCraft Community of the Year!
