The High Performance System Built home utilizes modern day technology to make your custom modular Energy Star Rated and Green! From day one an efficient use of materials, manpower and energy are the focus of construction- saving you energy and money. The construction process in a controlled environment allows for easier identification and filling of gaps around pipes, electrical outlets, windows, doors, and exterior sheathing. This makes a modular home tighter and allows less air infiltration and increases energy efficiency resulting in lower heating and cooling cost.
Construction cycle time is shortened by more than two thirds, there is 50-70% less waste compared to conventional site building, requiring less energy use-not to mention dramatic savings on financing- and the quality control procedures in the factory assure energy efficiency as well as the performance of the finished product.
The principles of green building focus on passive solar orientation, by orienting the house to benefit the passive solar gain can save you up 40% on heating and cooling.
Steps to a High-Performance Home

Lower energy billsSome are easily quantified in dollars and cents, while others are not. Energy savings for example can be readily determined. An Advanced High Performance Home can cut your energy bills by as much as 50% over a conventionally-built house. The resale value of High Performance is higher. Also some banks offer special mortgage rates, further reducing the operating cost of owning a home.
Other benefits are not easily measured financially, but nonetheless can have significant value. For example, better air quality usually means healthier living conditions. Some people with respiratory problems have experienced marked improvements after moving into an Advanced High Performance Home. Other benefits such as improved comfort, less noise, less dust and fewer drafts are often mentioned by satisfied homeowner. Many appreciate that the Advanced High Performance home is better-built. Finally, the fact that a new Advanced High Performance home is easier on the environment is a benefit that accrues to all of us.
