Our homeowners  called on us to improve the energy efficiency of their home by replace their stucco siding and single pane windows and.  Not only were they now going to be living in and enjoying a more comfortable home they received rebates for their new windows and insulation.

Single pane aluminum windows do little to offset solar heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter.  This home, as in the case of most homes built around the same time had no insulation in the walls.

 

Once the stucco was removed the house was insulated with Knauf’s EcoBatt sustainable insulation, and gaps sealed with insulating foam.
