Foam Insulation is a Money-Saving Feature in East Lake Estates

5/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
Auburn, Alabama is home to one of the most innovative and ecologically friendly insulation companies in the market today. Ecological Insulation has been working diligently at making a new home from Michael Allen Homes, the most energy efficient home on the market today. It is the goal of these two companies to achieve a “Grade One” insulation rating.

The two choices homeowners have when deciding what type of insulation to install are spray foam and traditional fiber products. While we believe that the best insulation is achieved through spray foam it will be our goal to achieve the maximum insulation rating possible if choosing traditional fiber products.

Every Michael Allen Home receives a trademarked “Eco EnergySeal Package” which includes advanced air sealing techniques to ensure that all homes have reduced air changes per hour. To put it simply, Ecological Insulation will work to seal up every crack and crevice with caulk and can foam to make sure every house is as energy efficient as possible.

The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) requires proper insulation and air sealing techniques to pass the energy efficient standards. While Alabama is currently adhering to the 2009 IEC Code, Michael Allen Homes meets or exceeds the 2012 IECC standard.  Working in conjunction with Pella Windows, high efficiency Trane HVAC equipment and Energy Recovery Ventilators a Michael Allen Home will achieve a three Air Exchange Per Hour energy efficiency rating.

David Kahn, partner in Ecological Insulation, believes that insulation is often one of the last items thought about in building a home.

“Insulation is often an overlooked aspect of the home. What is behind the walls is usually ‘out of sight, therefore out of mind’. We believe that one way to afford more home is to pay less to operate it and keep it comfortable. Upgraded insulation is an upgrade that provides constant annual returns on investment. Utility rates do not appear to be going down, therefore the return is greater as utility rates continue to rise.”  
-David Kahn of Ecological Insulation
Thanks to Ecological Insulation you can rest assured that every Michael Allen Home is built as energy efficient as it is beautiful.

We're always excited when national publications recognize the value that Auburn represents as a place to live.  It's no surprise to see Auburn on Forbes Magazine's list of "Best Places to Retire."  With access to Auburn University, world-class health care, entertainment and parks, Auburn has been making more and more of the "Best Of" lists all across the country.  We know for a fact how wonderful the Auburn - Opelika community is because it's the place many of us have chosen to raise our families, work AND retire to.

That's only a few of the reasons that East Lake Estates is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the area.  With estate sized lots, award-winning construction and neighbors who understand "front porch revival" you'll find a quality of life that's unmatched - anywhere.

The new year has meant a lot of activity in East Lake Estates - Auburn, Alabama's premiere estate neighborhood.  We've had lots of interest in our two most recently completed homes.  1676 Livvy Lane is move-in ready and available daily for showings.  1713 Glendale Circle has recently been completed and is available for personal tours during regular model home hours or by appointment.  When you're out and about just drive through and see all of the activity and new home construction.

The neighborhood is located off Ogletree Road near Moores Mill Road in Auburn.  Our model home is open daily.  Stop in for a cup of coffee and see the custom home going up directly across the street (see below).  We would love to show you around.
