ENERGY STAR
labeled homes are part of a new construction program from the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency...and the latest example of
innovation and Engineered Artistry from Alta Log Homes. With an
ENERGY STAR labeled Alta Log Home you’ll save 30% on annual
energy costs over conventional new construction.
Every new Alta Log Home with the ENERGY STAR label has all these
unique features to make your new home as energy-efficient as
possible.
Enhanced Insulation
Alta Log Homes have always been naturally energy-efficient with
excellent insulation performance values. Now, the ENERGY STAR
program certifies these values. The insulation value of windows
and doors is also an important factor in comfort and savings.
That’s why Alta features Andersen® windows and patio doors, and
Therma-Tru entry doors.
Air sealing
and ventilation
Properly sealing the holes and gaps that occur in every home
construction dramatically cuts energy loss and utility bills for
heating and cooling. |
An
effective mechanical ventilation system helps to ensure a
continuous supply of fresh indoor air for increased comfort,
health and safety. The ENERGY STAR program sets specific
standards for air sealing and ventilation.
High-efficiency heating and cooling
Over 40% of the annual energy costs in a typical home are for
heating and cooling. That’s why ENERGY STAR labeled homes
include high-efficiency heating and cooling systems. Even the
duct systems are performance- tested to help ensure that air is
distributed efficiently and evenly from room to room and season
to season. These systems provide year round comfort and reduced
utility bills.
High-efficiency appliances
and lighting
ENERGY STAR Labeled homes feature high-efficiency
appliances and lighting that provide the comfort and
convenience you want, but operate more efficiently and
lower utility costs. The wide selection of ENERGY STAR
labeled appliances and lighting fixtures lets you save
energy costs without compromising on performance or
design.
