Construction Methods
______________________________________
High-performance integrated designs are used to
optimize multiple energy efficiencies
Insulation & Air Sealing
• An advanced building envelope minimizes
the need for energy through construction of
advanced wall and ceiling assemblies
Water and Moisture Management
• I ncreases the durability of the house and
reduces risk of mold and mildew
- High efficiency spray foam insulation
- I nsulating entire envelope including the
attic and basement as required
- Moisture control by dew point
management
- Reduces ice-damming
- E liminates drafts/air infiltration
- Reduces heat loss/gain
- Reduces the required size of air conditioner
