Insulated Concrete Home Builder in Novi using Cutting-Edge Technology to Build Energy Efficient Homes
(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 31, 2010 ) Novi, MI -- Insulated concrete homes are replacing the traditional 2 X 4 wood frame construction with fiberglass insulation because they are unmatched for energy efficiency. The insulated concrete forms (ICF) wall system is the Cadillac of exterior walls for maximizing energy efficiency.
According to Mike Hugler, President of Per-Form, LLC, about 80% of air leakage from homes is through the walls. The ICF technology eliminates this leakage by enveloping concrete between two layers of foam insulation to provide a nearly air-tight seal from outdoor temperatures.
Insulated concrete form basement walls alone will reduce heating cost by up to 50%. With traditional concrete basements about 75% of heat produced by a furnace is lost due to radiation from the duct work and radiation from the main floor back to the basement. Heating a concrete basement includes heating the dirt for 3 feet all around the basement.
Most people think their largest energy loss is through the attic; however, the heat lost through the average basement is 50 times the loss from the attic. The advanced technology of insulated concrete form walls allows heat to bounce around rather than allowing it to penetrate walls.
When asked about the cost of this technology, Mike explained, The cost of an ICF home is higher than a traditional wood frame home; however, it is not outside of your budget when you consider the substantial energy savings. Considering the rate of inflation and the rising costs of energy, the total utility bills on today's wood-frame homes will be higher than your mortgage payment in 20 years.
Mike Hugler has over 3 decades experience in the home building industry. His customers include anyone who wants a healthier, more energy efficient home or building. The ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) technology is responsible for saving up to 70% on energy costs. In addition, ICF technology offers the benefits of a mold free basement with wind and fire resistant walls, to increase property value, improve living conditions and save money on insurance premiums.
Green technology is a fast-growing development and Per-Form, LLC is all about energy savings in homes and buildings, from under the basement floor to the roof-top, and from wall to wall. Visit http://insulatedconcretehome.blogspot.com/ to learn more.
