Energy Star Certification
One of the cornerstones of our commitment to energy efficiency is our dedication to building Energy Star certified homes. Energy Star is a voluntary program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that sets strict guidelines for energy efficiency. Homes that earn the Energy Star label are at least 10% more energy efficient than homes built to code and achieve a 20% improvement on average.
At MSC Enterprises LLC, we ensure that every Energy Star certified home we build includes:
- High-Quality Insulation: Proper insulation is key to maintaining your home’s temperature and reducing energy use.
- Efficient Heating and Cooling Systems: We install systems that use less energy while keeping your home comfortable.
- Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors: Our homes feature windows and doors that prevent drafts and reduce energy loss.
- Third-Party Testing: To ensure compliance with Energy Star standards, our homes undergo rigorous third-party testing.
Choosing an Energy Star certified home from MSC Enterprises LLC not only reduces your carbon footprint but also provides significant cost savings on your utility bills.
New Jersey Energy Efficiency Installation Considerations
Design and orientation of your home play a big role in the efficiency, and these key elements require meticulous planning. Through years of experience our planning and construction teams have the necessary skills to give the absolute best advice for the construction and design of your new home, its location on your land and the fundamentals associated with creating the ultimate new home to suit your needs.
Some of the things you need to consider are:
- Rooms you spend lots of time in, like your main living areas should be south-facing to catch sun light for the longest part of the day. Bedrooms should be positioned on the northern side so they remain cooler and more enjoyable to sleep in at night.
- Eaves over south-facing windows will help to keep unwelcome sun out in summer and let in extra sun during winter.
- If your living areas are more enclosed they will lower heating and cooling costs. Even though open plan designs are very popular, they can be noisy, and expensive to heat and cool.
- Zoning the home will save energy and money. Grouping rooms with similar uses together like living rooms and kitchens, bedrooms and wet areas will allow for more efficient heating and cooling throughout your home.
- Outdoor landscaping impacts indoor comfort. Trees on the eastern and western sides of your home can be used to block out the morning and afternoon sun during summer, creating less need for powered cooling.
Because we only use the best available quality materials, you are guaranteed to have better insulation than if you were using cheaper inferior materials. The quality of materials like timbers, insulations, glass and tiles all make a huge difference not only to the appearance and durability of your home, but also the energy efficiency rating.
Our experts can also help you choose the ultimate lighting for your new energy efficient home based in New Jersey. Natural light offers the cheapest lighting solutions, however with modern LED lighting technology available, you will save a lot more energy and get roughly three times life from LED’s than other lighting.
MSC Enterprises LLC provides unique designs for your very own property; or work with you to perfect your own plans and designs. No matter where we start with you, the result will be a new home you will be proud of.
