Advanced Building Techniques. |
 |
The Environments For Living® program is the leading, national program designed to assist builders in constructing and marketing homes utilizing the principles of building science. Building science is the discipline of looking at a house as an integrated system of systems that all work together, using advanced building techniques. Environments For Living®-certified homes deliver energy-efficiency, indoor environmental quality and durability benefits. Many of the requirements that must be met for a certified Environments For Living® home – tight construction, air pressure balancing, optimum value engineering, internal moisture management, combustion safety – may seem to be things all builders do, and things all homes have. But the reality is that the conventional, code-built homes today just don’t. A home built with the Environments For Living® program offers a limited guarantee on energy used for heating and cooling your home. Because of the combination of special framing techniques, improved insulation systems and efficient ductwork we can manage the energy you use to heat and cool your home. These building science techniques help ensure that you won't have a comfort problem — like a media room or guest bedroom that never seems to get cool enough in summer, or warm enough in winter. Homes constructed with Environments For Living® can even provide you with potentially greater resale value. For more information about Environments For Living® program, |
