SUSTAINABILITY
Not just a pretty space.
We’re the first to say that the Ridge is gorgeous, but it’s beautiful far beyond what the eye can see. It’s powered in ways that sustain, not drain, the planet—all part of how we walk the walk.
Our renewable energy system, wind turbine included, came online in 2010, and has become the state’s largest residential model for sustainable energy use:
- Top Energy Star rating
- Nearly 60% of electricity each year from renewable energy sources
- Cutting 29K tons of CO2 emissions yearly—substantially reducing our carbon footprint
Like specifics?
Our energy initiatives include:
- 35-kilowatt solar PV array
- 5-kilowatt wind turbine generator
- 3-day battery storage capacity for critical building system operation
- Bi-directional electrical metering with Pee Dee Electric to sell back power to the grid during non-peak consumption
- Capacity to power nearly 3.5 average-sized homes

Built to outlast a lifetime.
In constructing for Juneberry, we ask ourselves: will the structures we build contribute to the life of the land? Not to mention the lifelong memories of your visit? Our LEED Gold certification answers “yes” to both.
