This approach limits the impact of the built environment on the natural environment, while sensitivity to the location of building activities helps to prevent urban sprawl and preserves natural resources.</p>
<p>The Residential Buildings section includes strategies for new single-family homes. Many of the strategies also pertain to existing single-family homes and support energy-efficient and green home improvement projects that provide resiliency benefits. Whether building a new home or upgrading old systems, new and existing homeowners have the opportunity to select ENERGY STAR equipment, including high-efficiency water heaters, and HVAC equipment. Likewise, all homeowners can incorporate grid back-up capabilities (based on individualized risk factors and site opportunities) and consider storm preparation and planning for disruptive events.</p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4" _builder_version="4.14.8" background_size="initial" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" width="90%" max_width="1200px" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="1_4" _builder_version="4.14.8" custom_padding="||||false|false" global_colors_info="{}" custom_padding__hover="|||"][et_pb_blurb title="Design" use_icon="on" font_icon="&#xf568;||fa||900" icon_color="#75C044" image_icon_background_color="#ffffff" image_icon_width="48px" _builder_version="4.14.8" header_level="h2" background_size="initial" background_position="top_left" background_repeat="repeat" image_icon_custom_padding="25px|25px|25px|25px|false|false" text_orientation="center" border_radii_image="on|100%|100%|100%|100%" border_color_all_image="#f7f7f7" use_circle="on" use_circle_border="on" circle_border_color="#f7f7f7" circle_color="#ffffff" global_colors_info="{}" image_icon_background_color__sticky_enabled="#7EBEC5" image_icon_background_color__sticky="#7EBEC5"][/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_toggle title="Operational Tools" icon_color="#75C044" toggle_icon="&#xe035;||divi||400" _builder_version="4.14.9" _module_preset="default" custom_margin="||0px||false|false" custom_padding="||||false|false" global_colors_info="{}"]<ul>
