What is an Energy Efficient Home?
Energy efficient home design is all about creating a home, remodel, or renovation that utilizes significantly less energy in every aspect possible – not only during the build but more importantly, in the home design itself. Acorn Construction looks at heating, cooling, lighting, hot water, construction design, insulation, and more as we design your home for energy efficiency.

How do we accomplish an energy efficient home? We’re glad you asked!
Energy Efficient Windows and Doors
Modern windows and doors are mostly already set up for energy efficiency. Acorn Construction can help you carefully select windows and doors with multiple panes to reduce UV ray and undesired heating. We can choose insulated windows that minimize heat transfer as well as low-E coatings for sun exposure.
Home Insulation and Air Sealing for Energy Efficiency
Another aspect that Acorn Construction can integrate into your home that will make it incredibly energy efficient is superior installation and air sealing factors. Having a home that is tightly sealed and properly insulated prevents your HVAC system from working overtime. By decreasing leaks and openings through which air can escape or enter, the impact on your HVAC system is decreased, reducing your energy bills and increasing the performance of the system in general. This not only leads to a higher level of energy efficiency but also fewer maintenance calls, repair needs, and costly replacements.
Smart Home Integrations for Energy Efficiency
Energy-efficient lighting and accessories and energy star rated construction takes smart home technology to better control and reduce electricity consumption. This accomplishes energy efficiency in a multitude of ways, from simply being able to easily adjust your temperature controls in your home to a smart technology whole home smart control option. Giving yourself greater control typically results in reduced energy waste.
Home Designs for Energy Efficiency
One of the most strategic methods of encouraging energy efficiency for your home is to thoughtfully and carefully plan your home’s orientation and layout. Doing so can utilize the sun’s natural light and warm to warm during the winter and reduce sun exposure and heat through a high shade level during the summer. Every aspect of design, from window placement and orientation to landscaping, can assist you in creating an energy-efficient home.
