Building Green

When Peter and I were planning our new home, we were very concerned about saving energy.
We wanted a "small house" and one that would be energy efficient. I think we have a good start with the NUDURA Foundation and the SIPS panels. The house panels and the roof panels are all insulated at the ENERCEPT factory in South Dakota. Our heating system, windows, plumbing features, and appliances are all about saving energy as well. Brandon at Elite Builders in Green Bay is excited about putting up our house and very helpful in providing us with green building facts. The ENERCEPT concept is all about green building.
