Back in 2003, builder New Tradition Homes began investigating how to build the most efficient, healthiest homes for future homeowners. Efficient building has always been a priority for New Tradition, a home builder that primarily focuses on new construction projects in Tri-Cities and Vancouver, Washington.

To implement energy efficient building practices now to prepare for and exceed future energy codes.
