190 Onion Creek Ranch Rd. - Construction phases
This home incorporates a significant number of green building features.  These features include:
  • ICF wall construction (Insulating Concrete Forms), with the ability to withstand extremely high wind load
  • Structural metal framing (all load is supported by the exterior ICF walls and a beam/girder system)
  • Externally-vented standing seam metal roof (allows external airflow to cool roof without transitioning external temperature to inner attic)
  • Dual-fuel HVAC system
  • On-demand tank-less water heaters
  • Icyene insulation in the roof structure with a sealed attic system
  • ERV - Energy recovery ventilator to bring fresh air into home minimizing energy losses
  • Energy Star Appliances which consume 10%-50% less energy over non-Energy Star appliances
  • Fluorescent lighting throughout home reducing energy usage by up to 75% over incandescent lighting as well as ceiling fans throughout to circulate air
