As part of a series of online guides from MHBI, the guide focuses on ways to make custom-built homes energy efficient to support sustainability practices.
At a time when the effects of climate change are becoming more prominent nearly everywhere, the energy-efficiency strategies are a reflection of the company’s commitment to helping create custom homes that reflect your lifestyle choices and values.
A recent report from the Journal of Development Economics shows that energy-efficiency practices have the potential to affect comfort in a home, while also helping to lower costs and reduce the use of fossil fuels. Within the guide, the MHBI team takes a closer look at the different factors that can contribute to an environmentally-friendly home.
“As energy costs continue to rise and the global focus on sustainable living intensifies, more and more homeowners are seeking ways to build energy-efficient custom homes,” says a company representative. “With the right strategies and technologies in place, it’s possible to not only reduce energy consumption and lower operational costs but also create a comfortable and healthy living environment.”
MHBI's team takes a close look at design principles, materials, and methods that can be incorporated into the process of building your luxury custom home, with special considerations for the Northwest climate and weather conditions.
According to the guide, adequate insulation is crucial for optimizing energy efficiency and maintaining comfort, as a well-insulated home will reduce heat loss during the winter and prevent heat from accumulating during summer. You'll learn about different types of insulation - like cellulose, fiberglass, and spray foam - as well as the R-value, or a material’s ability to resist heat flow.
The guide moves on to a discussion of windows, noting that window design, selection, and placement are key in terms of creating natural light and preventing excess energy outputs. Factors to consider include the choice of panes, as well as high-quality frames and low emissivity (low-E) coatings.
Finally, you can learn more about the integration of solar energy into a home design, as well as the potential benefits of smart home technologies in terms of using automation to optimize energy use.
