SummerGlen continues to set new standards in building “green” energy efficient homes. We’re just made Tailored Foam insulation standard on the living area exterior block walls of all SummerGlen homes. Tailored Foam is a foam insulation that is pressure injected into the open cells of a home’s exterior concrete block walls. This process helps to seal the walls, it keeps out the heat, humidity, bugs, and noise. Tailored Foam achieves the highest “R” value and reduces air infiltration better than any other type of masonry insulation.
We’ve also increased the ceiling insulation in all living areas to an extra efficient R-48. Plus we’ve increased the SEER rating on SummerGlen homes air conditioning systems to a high-efficiency 13 SEER value. These improvements means SummerGlen homeowners will enjoy homes that are more comfortable, quiet and efficient than ever before. And homeowners will be helping to save our planet’s resources, while at the same time saving substantially on their energy bills.
These new standards, along with the ones we already have in place, put SummerGlen in the forefront of “green” homebuilding technology. All of our homes now meet or exceed the green building standards established by the National Association of Homebuilders. That means that we build them to minimize the impact of construction on the earth and design them so that you can live comfortably with minimal impact on our planet’s resources. At SummerGlen, we believe you can “live green” without paying a premium for the privilege of living in an eco-friendly community. That’s why we’ve incorporated all of these green building standards and environmentally-friendly features to be included in the standard price of every home we sell.
