There are many reasons to build a custom home, like the freedom of choosing a location and designing a smart floor plan. It also gives homeowners the opportunity to make smart choices about materials and energy sources to reduce their environmental impact and utility bills.
The new guide from Mountain High Builders covers aspects of energy-efficiency such as insulation, windows, and doors, giving readers an introduction to how to design a green home.
“Every part of the home, from the roof to the foundation, plays a role in energy efficiency. Proper insulation, energy-efficient windows, and doors keep the indoor environment stable,” a company spokesperson explained. “Efficient heating and cooling systems use less energy while maintaining comfort. Lighting and appliances that use less energy also contribute to the overall efficiency of the home.”
According to the Oregon Department of Energy, 28.4% of all households in the state were energy-burdened in 2022, up 2% from 2020. The increase in energy-burdened households has occurred despite the fact that Oregon has reduced its per capita energy use thanks to energy-efficiency incentives, underlining the impact of strategic planning during the construction of new buildings.
Mountain High Builders suggests spray foam as an effective insulation option that expands and fills gaps to prevent air leaks. It's especially suitable for areas like attics and crawl spaces where energy losses are typically higher. Cellulose insulation made from recycled paper also has good thermal performance while having a very low environmental impact.
For higher thermal performance in doors and windows, the contractor suggests glass with low-emissivity coatings and doors made of steel or fiberglass instead of wood.
