Top Tips for Energy Efficient Homes in Utah: Part 2

A COMPLETE THERMAL ENCLOSURE SYSTEM

    High Performance windows, Comprehensive air sealing and properly installed insulation work together to improve durability, reduce maintenance costs, enhance comfort, and lower monthly utility bills.

    Air Sealing

    An average home contains a half mile of gaps and cracks around windows and doors – along with hundreds of holes for pipes, lighting, wiring, and ventilation ducts. Sealing these cracks and holes helps reduce moister, drafts, dust pests, pollen, and noise. A tightly sealed home improves comfort and indoor air quality while reducing utility bills.

     

    Properly Installed Insulation

    It’s the quality of the insulation along with proper installation, not the amount that makes a difference. Proper installation includes careful placement to eliminate gaps, compression, and voids along with building techniques that minimize heat flow through framing, and complete barriers that prevent air from bypassing the insulation. This ensures reduced energy use, increased comfort, and consistent temperatures throughout the house.

     

    High-Performance Windows

    Advanced technologies like improved frames and protective coatings help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. They also block damaging ultra violet sunlight that can fade carpet and furniture.
