2012 Awarded “Certificate of Appreciation” for their
contributions to Rockville’s Economy

Rockville’s Business Appreciation Week
March 12-16 2012

 

The Rockville Mayor and Council, in coordination with the Rockville Economic Development, Inc. (REDI), gave a proclamation on March 5, 2012 declaring the week of March 12-16 as Rockville Business Appreciation Week. Each year, the City of Rockville and REDI celebrates Rockville’s businesses during a special Business Appreciation Week to highlight the importance of the business community to Rockville’s health and prosperity. On March 15th, Classic Homes was visited by one of REDI’s “ambassador teams” to discuss home building as well as collecting economic information about potential job gains or losses, talent recruitment needs, business expansions and space requirements. The principals of Classic Homes, Prem Puri, Denish Jain and Amita Jain were awarded a Certificate of Appreciation for their contributions to Rockville’s economy. This event was filmed to be aired on the local cable “Rockville channel 11.” REDI visited approximately 50 diverse companies through out the Rockville Business Appreciation week.

More than 5,700 businesses, ranging from small family-owned establishments to major corporations, are located in Rockville. They employ more than 92,000 people. The greater Rockville business area includes nearly 23 million square feet of commercial office space, which is more than 40% of the total office space in Montgomery County. The Rockville business sector contributes $34.4 million, about 40%, of the property taxes collected in Rockville.

The REDI ambassador team that visited Classic Homes were:

  • Henry Bernstein, Rockville Economic Development, Inc. Board of Directors
  • Sophie Lee, Rockville Economic Development, Inc. Board of Directors
  • Mark Pierzchala, Rockville City Council and Rockville Economic Development, Inc. Board of Directors

Energy Star Update

Classic Energy Star Certification Guidelines Are Changing

Energy Star guidelines are changing next year and a few of them in the new 3.0 version are:

• A Complete Thermal Enclosure System

• Quality Installed Complete Heating and Cooling Systems

• A Complete Water Management System

• Efficient Lighting and Appliances

On average, our homes are 25% more energy efficient than typical residential construction. Every home by Classic undergoes a series of performance tests and meets strict energy program standards. These practices are your assurance that your new home is comfortable, safe, durable and energy efficient. It also ensures that you’ll save money, year after year, on energy costs, and may increase your home’s value at the time of resale.

Classic Homes meets Energy Star guidelines according to the previous version 2.5. To view additional information about the new Energy Star 3.0 guidelines, you can visit the Energy Star website.


Homeowner Tips

Three Winterization Tips That Can Save You Money

You can make your home feel warmer without turning up the heat this winter. With these three winterization tips, you can save energy without spending a lot of money.

1. Avoid Drafts

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, drafts can waste 5% to 30% of your energy use. Start simple and adopt that old Great Depression fixture – a door and window draft stopper, which you can easily make yourself. Just place a rolled bath towel under a drafty door, or you can purchase them through online stores such as Amazon.com.

2. Change Furnace Filters

It is important to replace or clean furnace filters once a month during the heating season. Dirty filters restrict airflow and increase energy demand. Here’s a worry-saving tip: mark a monthly check on your calendar. You may even want to consider switching to a permanent filter, which will reduce waste and hassle. Disposable fiberglass filters trap a measly 10 to 40% of debris while electrostatic filters trap around 88%. Electrostatic filters are much better at controlling the bacteria, mold, viruses and pollen that cause illness and irritation. Another route is a genuine HEPA filter, which can remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles. HEPA filters are based on Department of Energy standards.

3. Run Fans in Reverse

People tend to think of fans only when they want to be cool. Many ceiling units come with a reverse mode direction of the blades. Counterclockwise rotation produces cooling breezes while clockwise makes it warmer. Heat rises so air pooled near the ceiling is circulated back into the living space – cutting your heating costs as much as 10%!

About The Coumbia – The Columbia is a beautiful floor plan. To label it as traditional or sensible would be understating the home’s flowing elegance and beauty. Each room is spacious and flows with the areas surrounding them. Traditionally homes have only a few elegant features which are the focal points of the entire home. This is not the case with the Columbia! Every room has characteristics contributing to the overall luxurious beauty of the home.
