A house is a complex system that is only as good as the its weakest component part. For example, a well insulated home can still be uncomfortable and waste energy if outside air can freely enter and leave the building shell.
Poor ventilation can lead to moisture and indoor pollutant accumulation.
For this reason, we recommend the program that requires independent testing of the home, Wisconsin Energy Star . Ask your builder if his homes are Wisconsin Energy Star homes. Homes that do qualify are eligible for CASH rewards and special financing. If you're designing a home we can provide HVAC system sizing calculations and code compliance documentation either as a separate service or part of the standard rating package. Please contact us with questions.
