Introduction
Creating a custom home that is energy-efficient requires careful planning and attention to various factors that impact energy use. A holistic design approach ensures the home is both sustainable and well-suited to the needs of its occupants.
Design Philosophy
Energy-efficient custom homes are tailored to the climate, landscape, and lifestyle of the owner. Orientation, insulation, and smart space planning are foundational in reducing energy loads.
Material Selection
Choosing eco-conscious materials like recycled steel, low-VOC paints, and FSC-certified wood helps reduce environmental impact and improve indoor air quality.
HVAC and Solar Integration
A well-designed HVAC system with zoning, paired with solar panels and energy storage, allows homeowners to lower utility costs and enjoy long-term savings.
Smart Home Automation
From thermostats and lighting to energy monitors and automated blinds, smart technologies give homeowners control over energy use in real-time.
Case Example
In a custom project completed in Irvine, CA, strategic design choices and passive solar orientation led to a 55% reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional builds.
