In today's new home construction market, homebuyers' expectations of the comfort, quality, energy efficiency, and value from their new homes are ever increasing. In order to meet homebuyers' expectations, a builder's product must be designed, built, and delivered with excellence at all levels. Building high-performance, comfortable, low maintenance homes is not about purchasing expensive products; it's about the process. Intelligent Energy Solutions Green (IES Green) services cover each step of the building process to ensure all of the critical components are reviewed and inspected for quality.
You can reduce your home's heating and cooling costs sustantially through proper air sealing and insulation techniques. Reducing your home heating and cooling bills begins with an IES home energy audit to assess where your home may be losing energy through air leaks. Common sources of air leaks include attics; plumbing and electrical penetrations; can lights; attic transitions; dropped soffits and access panels; basements; rim and band joist; penetrations for gas, electrical, or cable; old windows; worn out weatherstripping; poorly sealing fireplace dampers.
When selecting insulation for your home, you want the best-performing product available -- and the one that provides you with the best value for your money. That's why Intelligent Engery Solutions Green (IES Green) uses cellulose insulation, which provides the greatest value and performance, including the highest R-value per inch, excellent fire retardant capabilities, and exceptional sound control, not to mention the fact that cellulose is one of the greenest building products in the world today.
Once you have received IES Green's Home Audit Report, it will clearly identify each of the energy and comfort issues in your home. Additionally, your audit report will provide a prioritized plan for making the most cost-effective investments to improve your comfort and health while also reducing your energy costs and your home's environmental impact. IES Green offers the right materials and installation services. We offer a wide range of home improvement products that have been researched to ensure the highest quality standards have been met.
Leaky ducts can reduce heating and cooling system efficiency by as much as 20%. Sealing, and if appropriate, insulating ducts, increases efficiency, lowers your energy bills, and can often pay for itself in energy savings. Plus, if you're planning to install new heating/cooling equipment, a well-designed and sealed duct system may allow you to downsize to a smaller, less costly heating and cooling system that will provide better dehumidification. Leaky ductwork in your heating and cooling system may cause "backdrafting, " where combustion gases are drawn back into the living space, rather than expelled to the outdoors.
Crawl spaces are a source of unwanted moisture, odors, and possible Radon Gas. Crawl spaces also are often misunderstood. In most contexts, crawl spaces are nothing more than a short basement and should be treated as such, especially if you have HVAC ducts or plumbing in them. Encapsulating the floor, sealing the vents, and insulating may be the best solution. In other situations, it may be best to leave the crawl space floor as is, insulate the floor joists, and properly vent the crawl space to the outdoors.
