Building an Energy-Efficient Custom Home

July 1, 2023 Better Build Now No Comments Construction Management Custom Home Design Tips

Sustainability is just about all we hear about now, and that is not going to go away. Realistically, we are seeing more and more government regulations put in place, especially in the construction business. Years ago, it was up to the builder and owner to incorporate certain energy-efficient design aspects into the home, but that is no longer the case. From the materials used to the appliances placed in the home, energy-efficiency must play a key role in home design.

With so much of a push, and ever-changing regulations, it pays to get ahead of the curve when it comes to energy-efficient designs. But there are also significant benefits when incorporating this into the design of the home.

Lower Energy Costs: This is the big one today, with energy costs still among the highest we have ever seen. The last two years were brutal in terms of price per kWh for most consumers, so having, for instance, solar panels on the roof would have helped alleviate that challenge. By incorporating energy efficiency into the home, you are also lowering the carbon footprint of the home.

Improved Home Value: If you are going to resell the home, energy efficiency is a major selling point in today’s market. The less work a buyer had to do after moving in the better, so it will give your home a significant edge over any other homes up for sale in the area.

Improved Comfort and Air Quality: This is not something a lot of people consider, but energy-efficient homes typically have better ventilation systems than older homes, which means you and your family are breathing much cleaner air. The fact that the home is well-sealed will also provide a more consistent and comfortable environment.

We have already done several posts on the different ways you can incorporate energy efficiency into your custom home design, but we highly recommend you consult with your builder to discuss before even putting pen to paper for a design to see what is feasible and not with your budget and building space. You may also want to consider hiring a residential construction project manager to help. For more information on Better Build Now construction services, give us a call at 888-402-4180.
