Energy Efficient Design

Energy Efficient Design on the home.

Aurora Builders recognizes the importance of building energy efficient homes and the impact we can make on reducing the net operating cost of a home.

By addressing specific design considerations and materials early in the process, we are able to minimize the utility load on the home.

Careful orientation of the home on the building site, together with deep roof overhangs, tinted windows, and deliberately placed landscaping all contribute to naturally shading the home against the heat of the mid-day sun.

We guide homeowners to make the right decisions for their homes and their ultimate comfort

Whether building new or remodeling an older home, there are many eco-friendly products available to help lower the home’s energy consumption.

Features such as expandable spray foam insulation, variable speed high efficiency air handlers, on-demand water heaters, Energy Star-rated appliances, L.E.D. light fixtures and insulated, low-E tinted windows and doors can greatly reduce the demand on electricity usage.

As Certified Green Professionals (CGP), the team at Aurora Builders believes in being environmentally sensitive and mindful of the impact of our material choices on the earth’s limited natural resources.
We are experienced at installing photo-voltaic panels to convert sunlight into electricity, geo-thermal heat pumps that utilize naturally cooled ground water to air condition the home, and closed-loop plumbing systems with re-circulating pumps to create on-demand hot water.
