You’ll See, Hear, and Feel the Difference in a Brighton Home

At Brighton, energy efficiency isn’t just a feature. It’s a foundational part of how we build. Since 2009, we’ve prioritized smarter construction, better performance, and long-term value by building homes that exceed standard energy expectations.

We continue to incorporate ENERGY STAR® qualified products such as advanced lighting, ventilation fans, dishwashers, and washing machines into every home we build. These trusted components, combined with our high-performance building practices, create homes that are more comfortable, more durable, and more cost-effective to live in.

From properly installed insulation and efficient heating and cooling systems to high-performance windows, every element is selected to deliver a more comfortable, quiet home with consistent temperatures year-round.

Smarter Systems

Sealed construction, efficient ductwork, and mechanical ventilation work together to reduce energy waste, cut utility costs, and improve indoor air quality.
