RESNET - The Residential Energy Services Network, created a
nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a homes’
energy performance using the Home Energy Rating System (HERS).
A certified Home Rater is trained to test and evaluate a home and
calculate a score. Any Energy Star Certified new home will be tested
and given a HERS rating which, besides giving the homeowner
confidence in his new home’s energy efficiency and personal comfort,
a home given a good HERS rating will retain a higher resale value
when the time comes to sell.
By using NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms to build your
new home you can ensure you are choosing the best
building solution available today. Insulated Concrete Forms
provide Substantial benefits over traditional building
methods.

Receiving an ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATION means that your new
home has been designed and built to standards well above most
other homes on the market today. It means better quality, better
comfort, and better durability. It also means that your new home
Iis a better value for today, and a better investment for tomorrow.
And it means that your home has undergone a better process of
inspections, testing and verification to ensure that it meets strict
requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The “NOT SO BIG HOUSE” book series brings to light a new way
of thinking about what makes a structure feel like a home...
characteristics many people desire in their homes and lives, but
haven’t known how to verbalize.
How big is Not so Big? Not so Big doesn’t necessarily mean small...
it means not as big as you thought you needed, but designed and
built to perfectly suit the way you live.
