Energy Features
ENERGY STAR Certified Homes
Today, value in a home is about much more than just square footage for the dollar. The average utilities cost, impact on your quality of life, and impact on the environment are all very important factors that discerning homebuyers have become very familiar with. Riverside Homebuilders, certified Energy Star builder, is committed to building homes that are efficient, healthy, and clean. We use the latest technologies, designs, and methods to ensure that you are getting the absolute maximum from your home. With energy efficiency built-in from the ground up, you’ll experience greater savings compared to most new homes. Plus, you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing it’s built to a high standard of construction for enhanced comfort and durability. It’s a house you can be proud to own and a future you can feel good about handing down.
Energy Efficient Techniques and Technologies
FOAM ENCAPSULATION
Our homes feature total encapsulated FOAM insulation for maximum efficiency. This proven insulation method ensures that our homes have a stable internal temperature resulting in substantial savings on utility bills for our homeowners. It also protects our duct work and units from extreme temperatures that can be found in the attic which can significantly increase the lifespan of the equipment.
AIR SEALING
In addition to full foam encapsulation, we take extra measures to seal in air and help provide a constant thermal break and lock in heating and cooling—including integrity gasket, caulk and poly seal. Our homes are fully sheeted—even behind siding—and our externally vented range hoods are specifically designed to improve air quality in your home
SMART THERMOSTATS
Our programmable thermostats accurately control temperatures to reduce wasted cooling or heating capacity.
HVAC SYSTEMS
Our 14- to 16-SEER heat pumps work to eliminate uneven temperatures and provide greater humidity control in order to let your heat pump operate at lower, more efficient speeds. (Upgraded SEER rating in certain communities)
