Mold and Mold Prevention
Builders who build energy-efficient homes using the principals of modern Building Science and the "House As A System" approach add important tangible benefits for homebuyers and Builders alike. Homebuyers are becoming aware that careful design, proper selection of materials and equipment and quality construction practices are needed to create an energy-efficient home. Homebuyers recognize the added value and look for these features that not only keep their energy bills low, but also lead to a healthy, safe, durable and comfortable home. Builders are discovering that this integrated approach helps them to reduce callbacks, differentiate themselves from the competition, and be more profitable. Check out the videos to learn how other builders are incorporating energy-efficient features, showcasing them, and selling these efficient homes.
