eHome's energy efficient designs result in cost savings, environmental benefits and exceptional levels of comfort. Starting with a tight building envelope and a wall system engineered for breathability, eHome brings high levels of year round comfort to interior conditioned space. Foam insulation is sprayed in all the wall cavities, under the roof deck and on perimeter foundation walls virtually eliminating air exfiltration and infiltration. Exterior siding and wall sheathing are separated by systems which provide for the drainage of moisture and thus attain high levels of mold mitigation. Humidifiers maintain ideal indoor moisture levels while cutting edge 18 seer, two stage air conditioning units actually dehumidify without causing excessive cooling. 96% efficient gas furnaces are zoned to balance the temperatures in different rooms while energy recovery ventilators bring in fresh air and exchange the energy from the stale air before it exhausts. Motorized automated shading controls are timed to minimize heat gain and loss and minimize the effects of damaging u.v. rays. eHome “builds tight and ventilates right” Every eHome is a high performance structrue, independently certified to meet Energy Star standards and benefit from the latest in building science innovations.
