Energy Features
New homes can be amazingly more energy efficient than older homes. Better windows, better insulation, more efficient heating and cooling, zoned heating and air conditioning, radiant-heat-barrier type attic decking, and improved air infiltration for starters. These features are also effective in resisting the formation of black mold.
