Green homes appear to be the wave of the future when it comes to building houses in Central Texas.

A development in Georgetown promises some of the best state-of-the-art technology for environmentally friendly houses.

Developers are building more than 2,000 green-built houses. When it's done, Georgetown Village should be the largest development of its kind in Central Texas.

Emily Thomson of GreenBuilders says they are using high tech construction as well as recycled materials.

"We are using eco-cycled tiles in our homes so it is made out of recycled materials and some clay to even down to the floors we are walking on," Thomson said.

They are also using water base stains on the cabinets -- which is better for the environment -- along with detached garages so fumes don't leak into the house.

Madison Wickham of GreenBuilders says the most important feature is the air-tight foam for insulation.

"This particular insulation is quite a bit more expensive but pays for itself in the long run," said Wickham. "The idea is to include a lot of different features like this insulation that in the front are more expensive, but in the long run they pay for itself."

Thomson says another advantage to an airtight home is that it helps keeps out the pollen.

"What we are doing with green building is we are not only giving you an affordable home, but we are also giving you a healthier home for you and your family," Thomson said.

CEO of GreenBuilders Clark Wilson says building green just makes sense,

"It's a smart thing to do and the right thing to do and a green built home will save you 50 to 60 percent on your energy bill, freeing up hundreds of dollars to do something else with," Wilson said.

The homes' prices will run around $250,000.

The company is also planning on two more green communities in Central Texas -- one in Buda, the other in Driftwood.
