Leading the industry in improving energy efficiency while making better use of natural resources.

Maracay Homes has built over 6500 homes in Arizona over the last 20 years. We're proud to be a member of the Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company family of builders from coast to coast. Weyerhaeuser is a Fortune 500 Company and a global leader in sustainable forest management. Across its supply chain, from forestry practices to homebuilders to manufacturing operations, Weyerhaeuser seeks to manage our environmental impact. As we improve efficiency, decrease emissions and make better use of natural resources, we reduce our footprint.

In Arizona, Maracay Homes has implemented and brought to market new building specifications in our new and upcoming communities to make homes more energy efficient and environmentally responsible. Maracay is an Energy Star® rated builder in most current communities and working toward becoming fully Energy Star® certified in all neighborhoods in the near future.

Some of Maracay Homes specific green-building practices include:

• Headers, beams and flooring made by iLevel, which has received a "green" designation from the National Association of Home Builders Research Center.
• Blown-in cellulose wall insulation on all exterior wall applications that provides protection from heat and cold using a renewable material.
• Weyerhaeuser's Radiant Barrier Sheathing on all new homes. The sheathing blocks up to 97% of the sun's radiant energy, which minimizes heat transfer from the roof and insulated attic into homeowner's living spaces.
• Low-usage plumbing fixtures and "water smart" irrigation timers.
• Programmable thermostats in all homes to help manage heating and cooling costs, and low-energy bulbs and motion sensors to reduce lighting costs.

Maracay Homes Energy Ease® gives you smart choices for the way you want to live.

Maracay Homes is proud to be an Energy Star® homebuilder in most of its Arizona communities. An Energy Star® qualified home is 15% to 20% more energy efficient than a standard home and can keep up to 4,500 pounds of greenhouse gases from entering the environment throughout the year.

Maracay Homes has earned APS Energy Star® and SRP Powerwise® certifications for its building practices in our communities throughout metro Phoenix.

Certification requires three independent tests that certify the house envelope is built to a third-party standard. Tests include insulation, blower door and duct leakage tests. We are currently working with Tucson Electric and Power to implement their certification program at our Southern Arizona communities.
