Efficient houses reduce energy costs. Harden Custom Homes builds Florida energy efficient custom homes. Having an elegant home doesn't mean your running costs have to be high.
Incorporating energy-saving features into your home can do wonders.
- Consistent interior temperatures
- Reduced heating and cooling costs
- Healthier indoor environment
- Protection from climate changes
Florida home builders consider several factors affecting the energy efficiency of your home.
- Energy efficient appliances
- Shade lot or direct sun
- Insulation and air sealing methods
- Heating and cooling equipment
- Windows and doors
- Skylights
Each one has an impact on energy consumption. When they are combined in the construction of a new home, the energy savings can be substantial.
Location
It is essential to choose a building site offering natural protection from the elements. The location of the home on the site must take full advantage of protecting the structure from wind and sun by using the natural protection the site offers.
Insulation
Insulation is the protective barrier between the interior of your home and the hot sunny environment. Insulation in the walls and the ceiling help to keep you comfortable while avoiding fluctuation of inner temperatures caused by lack of heat flow. Warm in the winter cool in the summer.
HVAC
The HVAC system needs to match the square footage of the home. Systems are energy efficient as rated when used in a properly matched home. Too big or too small and it throws the unit off causing energy to be wasted.
