At Chatham Park, sustainability isn’t just an idea. It’s built directly into the homes themselves.
Through the ecoSelect® Plus program, homes are designed to deliver strong performance in energy efficiency, water conservation, and indoor air quality—providing greater comfort, healthier living environments, and long-term savings.
Every ecoSelect® Plus home is inspected and tested by Southern Energy Management, an independent third-party rooftop solar and building performance expert, ensuring each home meets Chatham Park’s rigorous standards for performance and efficiency.
Every ecoSelect® Plus home at Chatham Park includes features designed to support efficiency, comfort, and healthier living, including:
For homeowners, ecoSelect® Plus means everyday benefits you can feel, from lower energy bills to healthier indoor air.
Our homes are designed to provide:
These features work together to create homes that perform better while supporting long-term value.
Through the ecoSelect® Plus program, Chatham Park homes are designed to use less energy while maintaining consistent comfort year-round.
Advanced construction practices such as tight duct systems, effective insulation, and whole-house air leakage testing help seal the home and prevent wasted energy.
The results are measurable. ecoSelect® Plus homes maintain an average HERS Score of 60, making them about 24% more energy efficient than standard North Carolina code-built homes.
That efficiency also reduces energy costs. ecoSelect® Plus homes average about $1,952 per year in energy costs compared to $2,670 for a typical code-built home, saving homeowners roughly $515 annually.
Every ecoSelect® Plus home in Chatham Park is also solar-ready, allowing homeowners to easily add solar panels in the future and further reduce their energy footprint.
A home should support your health as much as your lifestyle.
Homes include whole-house mechanical ventilation systems to ensure stale air is exhausted and fresh air is regularly introduced through all seasons. High-performance bath fans remove moisture and contaminants to support healthier indoor air.
Low-emission building materials are also used throughout the home. Low-VOC paints and CRI-certified carpets help reduce indoor pollutants and chemical exposure.
Sealed crawlspaces control moisture and help prevent mold and mildew, contributing to healthier indoor environments.
Tight building envelopes help maintain consistent indoor temperatures while reducing dust buildup, which also supports easier home maintenance.
Together, these features help homeowners enjoy a more comfortable living space.
ecoSelect® Plus homes also include features that help reduce water use.
WaterSense® certified faucets and toilets conserve water without sacrificing performance and can save the average household hundreds of gallons of water each year.
Native and regionally appropriate landscaping is also encouraged throughout the community. These plants typically require less irrigation and maintenance while supporting local pollinators and wildlife.
ecoSelect® Plus homes also include features designed for modern living.
Homes come EV-ready with a dedicated power supply, making it easy for homeowners to install electric vehicle chargers as EV adoption grows.
They are also pre-wired for high-speed fiber internet and smart home technology, allowing residents to integrate home automation systems, security features, and connected home devices.
These forward-thinking features help ensure homes remain adaptable and ready for the future.
As Chatham Park continues to grow, the ecoSelect® Plus program is making a measurable difference.
In 2025 alone, 179 homes were certified to ecoSelect® Plus, bringing the total number of certified homes in the community to 797 homes.
By the end of 2025, ecoSelect® Plus homes helped avoid more than 2.4 million pounds of carbon emissions, representing an increase of 500,000 pounds in just one year.

Community-wide energy savings have also grown significantly, increasing from $608,000 to nearly $888,000 in total utility savings for residents.
Each ecoSelect® Plus home avoids roughly 3,300–3,400 pounds of carbon emissions annually, showing how small efficiencies add up to meaningful environmental impact over time.
