There are three factors that most greatly influence families when it comes to making a decision for constructing a new home.
- Airtight System
- Consistent Air Temperature
- Controlled Humidity and Regulated Air Exchanges
One of the most significant factors to maintain clean fresh air is to have airtight buildings and proper air exchanges. EPS walls are 15 times more airtight that stud walls. An EPS Solid Core Home can address all your indoor comfort needs by eliminating air infiltration and increasing your insulation value - yielding greater comfort to the family.
Building and EPS Home with Structurally Insulated Panels creates a solution that benefits the environment and your wallet. Designed to lower overall household energy consumption, emissions and indoor water consumption, an EPS Energy-Star home combines building science with high performance products to create new homes that are environmentally friendly.
