A home is a haven for individuals and their families as it is also their most valuable investment. It, therefore, becomes important to ensure that the chosen home has the necessary features for the safety and well-being of the dwellers. Several factors ensure that the dwellers have a wonderful stay experience with complete protection from external hazardous elements. Using proven building strategies, Markus Homes helps people get homes with less energy consumption and safety and healthy homes. Construction plans are reviewed extensively with engineers and energy experts. If you have a shared wall with neighbors, you need to make necessary arrangements with a party wall agreement surveyor to avoid unnecessary complaints during construction. This collaboration between different experts guarantees a beneficial result for the homeowner, ensuring that the construction project is both energy-efficient and compliant with the relevant laws and regulations. Here are some of the features that need to be considered when building your home:
Advanced framing
When it comes to meeting new home developments to meet energy requirements, advanced framing plays a huge role. The structure enables space maximization for cavity insulation and minimizing potential voids, resulting in energy efficiency. In addition, the installation of fewer framing members provides better insulation coverage and creates an efficient and tighter building envelope that prevents pollutants from entering the home through voids. The tighter building envelopes make the home pest-free, and pre-treating the slab for termites also contains the presence and entry of termites.
Quality materials and proper installation
Quality home materials provide efficiency and durability, enabling an individual to get the best out of the home. On the other hand, proper installation of the home features such as roof, windows, and plumbing for new home developments facilitate the creation of a healthy home. Additionally, the quality materials and proper installations prevent the constant repair and maintenance requirements due to the installation work done. Also, the appropriate installation seals spaces and gaps that would allow water and other exterior hazardous elements to enter the home and affect the dwellers and property, leading to damages to the building interior.
Foam Insulation
The foam acts as an insulation and air barrier material that seals floors, ceiling cavities, and walls from air movements. The insulations provide the home with energy efficiency protecting the home from huge utility bills. The foam swells to reach cracks and crevices, preventing the entry of allergens, bugs, and small rodents, making life unbearable for the dwellers. Additionally, the foam improves the strength and sturdiness of the home, further enhancing its durability and efficiency. The foam also provides noise reduction from the outside parts making the home dwellers free from outdoor activities, especially for those staying close to highways and industries.
HVAC systems
HVAC systems enable an individual to control the building’s interior temperature and counter the external conditions. The new home developments HVAC systems remove 98% pollen and mold spores, 95% dust, and 89% bacteria enabling individuals to breathe easily. Clean air prevents air-borne diseases, thereby making the building dwellers safe and healthy. Additionally, the company provides an air purification system at a small fee for those seeking more than the HVAC systems. The HVAC systems also get perfectly installed to work to achieve the home energy efficiency requirement.
