          Energy Efficiency

§ Foundation waterproofing keeps from heat loss

§ Windows – Low E glass is a low emissivity with a transparent coating that acts as a thermal mirror, as it reflects radiant heat and allows the passage of visible light.  In hot climates, Low E glass reflects solar heat, keeping the inside of your home cooler. In cold climates, Low E glass reflects the radiant heat back into the house, keeping your home warm.

§ Toilets are 1.6 gallon

§ Energy Star rated hot water heater by A.O. Smith/State

§ Carrier/Bryant heat pump is a 13 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), and provides a 30 percent energy efficiency increase over 10 SEER.

§ Insulation  - fiberglass insulation saves 12 times the energy used to produce it — in its first year installed alone.  Maintains R value over time.

§ Siding - Vinyl siding requires less energy to manufacture per square foot than brick and mortar.  Mastic vinyl siding is lighter weight per square than other cladding options, so it requires less fuel to transport. Less fuel used means less pollution.  When properly installed, Structure EPS Insulated Siding can reduce thermal bridging and help meet the requirements of an Energy Star Qualified new home. Structure EPS Insulated Siding, with a verified R-Value of up to 3.0, have been tested using the new 2011 FTC-Compliant testing method (ASTM C1363).
