Saving energy is important when building a new home.
Please see the
features sheet for a full list of energy saving features in respective series homes.
The most cost effective ways in Palm Beach,
Martin and St. Lucie Counties to increase your home energy efficiency
is to reduce glazing in the building, install window shading and use windows
with lower U and SHGC values, upgrade the efficiency of the right sized air conditioner
SEER, use a right sized heat pump higher HSPF, install
radiant barrier in the attic, upgrade ceiling insulation, install ceiling fans, install programmable thermostats, install energy efficient light bulbs and upgraded wall insulation
and use all EnergyStar qualified appliances.
Other non conventional methods are also available with higher cost and longer recovery times. We recommend that all home buyers ask for upgraded energy saving features.
