Cheyenne homes generate positive energy flow

Cheyenne homes in Pardee Homes' Shadow Mountain Ranch community in the southwestern valley are designed with good "chi" (energy) by feng shui standards, according to sales executive Rob Tuvell.

"These homes not only allow for the positive flow of energy, they are also Energy Star homes that save energy," he said.

Tuvell said that according to an informal reading by a local feng shui master, the homes' open designs allow a favorable flow of chi throughout the interiors, and the entries all open to spacious areas allowing abundance to enter.

Homes in the community's Cheyenne and Montana neighborhoods have earned the Energy Star designation from the Environmental Protection Agency for exceeding national energy-efficiency standards by at least 30 percent.
