Hunley Waters is a sustainable, eco-friendly neighborhood featuring EarthCraft certified, 'green' homes. EarthCraft House, created in 1999, is a residential green building program that serves as a blueprint for healthy homes that reduce utility bills and protect the environment. The certification system, created by the Southface Energy Institute in Atlanta, GA, includes elements such as site planning, indoor air quality, resource efficiency, waste management, water conservation, and homeowner education. By promoting recycling and the use of durable, low maintenance, recycled, and rapidly renewable materials, EarthCraft helps to ensure all Hunley Waters homes conserve natural resources and protect ecosystem biodiversity.

In addition, EarthCraft House has partnered with the Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR Home program, making Hunley Waters homes up to 30% more efficient than the benchmark 1993 Model Energy Code.
