Community Specific Features

Radiant Barrier Sheathing – (California)

Prevents up to 97% of radiant heat from entering the attic, maintaining a temperature that is 30% cooler. It can reduce summer cooling costs by 20% and there is less wear & tear on HVAC equipment.

SMUD Advantage & Roseville Electric BEST Solar Home Certifications – (California)

These homes reduce energy use by 20-40% or more, meeting the U.S. Department of Energy “High Performance” energy efficient home (30% better than 2006 IECC requirements (International Energy Conservation Code)).

Energy Star Home – (Arizona)

These homes are at least 15% more energy efficient than a code built home.

BIBS Insulation (Blown-in batt insulation)

A superior method of wall cavity insulation, ensuring all voids are filled, raising the R-value (resistance to temperature change) to R-15 in a 2x4 wall from R-13 when insulated with conventional batts.
