Our homes are built to create a building envelope, where all components from the site orientation, covered porches, roof overhangs, windows, spray foam insulation, to the cross ventilation, play a key part in reducing energy use.
When you add in features like tank less water heating, Energy Star appliances, 100% Energy Star light fixtures with florescent or LED bulbs, working with a high efficiency heating and air conditioning system, the result is a 60 – 70% reduction in energy use compared to a conventionally built home of the same size. It is because of this tremendous reduction in energy use that enables our 5.9 KW solar array feasible.
