Advanced Building Science
When it comes to home construction, what you can’t see is just as important as what you can.
That’s why you’ll find many of the premium features inside these homes aren’t things you can see or touch. But rather, they are built right into the “thermal envelope” or shell.
Take a look “behind the walls” and see the quality construction and materials inside every Home Inspired by ecomagination.
-
Tight Construction
Special framing techniques, including a continuous air barrier, help reduce internal leaks and drafts. -
Fresh Air Ventilation
Efficient delivery and filtration systems help reduce dust, odors and indoor compounds. -
Improved Thermal Systems
Enhanced insulation and framing help minimize voids and gaps. The use of high-performance windows with thermal properties helps increase energy efficiency.
-
Right-Sized Heating & Cooling Equipment
An air-conditioning system that’s built to fit your home works more efficiently to maintain temperatures and manage excess moisture. -
Pressure Balancing
Air ducts and grilles help balance pressure throughout the home, enabling air to circulate more easily. -
Internal Moisture Management
Air-conditioning systems work together with exhaust fans in your bathrooms and kitchens to reduce humidity levels. -
Combustion Safety
Combustion appliances are sealed or power-vented to help avoid the buildup of carbon monoxide.
