6 things Emerald Park Homes does to make sure their homes are energy efficient:
1. Energy Efficient Windows
Our homes feature triple glazed, low e windows filled with argon gas that are designed to maximize the energy efficiency of your home by preventing air and water leakage with their five-seal defense system. To take it even further, all windows and doors are sealed with a top of the line waterproof membrane as well as insulated with spray foam to ensure they are air tight.
2. Air Tight Seal
You want your home to be as air tight as possible to eliminate drafts and maintain an even temperature throughout your home. This means that it is important to properly seal around all windows and doors, vents and electrical outlets. Our homes come standard with an R60 blown in insulation, and we go above the standard building code for our climate by using spray foam insulation on the joist ends for an even more air tight seal. Spray foam insulation throughout the home is an extra that we encourage anyone who is willing to pay a little more up front to do to save a lot more money in the long run. The lower utility bills as a result of an air tight home help with the cost of home-ownership and they also add re-sale value to your home.
3. High Efficiency Furnace and HRV
An energy efficient furnace with an HRV is an important factor in the air tightness of your home. It contributes to reduced air leakage, which means fewer drafts, less noise, odors, and lost warm air in the winter and cooled air in the summer. An HRV works by providing you with a constant flow of fresh air while recovering the heat from the stale air that is being exhausted from your home. Thereby helping you maintain a more comfortable, healthier indoor environment. A programmable thermostat can help you manage heating and cooling while you’re away or over night. We also recommend and install ‘zoned’ systems when possible in larger homes to allow the thermostat to be set to different temperatures for each zone.
4. LED or Energy Star Lighting
High efficiency LED lighting is used throughout our homes which not only cuts down on energy consumption, but it also has a longer life span and shouldn’t need to be replaced for up to 15 years. LEDs use less energy than other bulbs which allows them last about 25,000 hours on average.
5. Energy Star or High Performance Appliances and Equipment
Using EnergyStar rated appliances in our homes is a great way to cut down on energy consumption. As well as energy efficient water heaters, RO systems, water softeners and high efficiency heating and cooling equipment.
6. Water Saving Accessories and Equipment
Using water saving fixtures in your home such as dual flush toilets and low flow shower heads helps you to lower your water consumption and water heating costs. As well as water saving equipment like your dishwasher and washing machine.
